Ghiordes Rug (size adjusted) BB8845 14'0" × 25'2" $90,000

This monumental antique Ghiordes carpet from Western Anatolia unfolds on a warm beige-cream ground, punctuated by a precise all-over lattice of stylized “S”-scroll vines in soft terracotta. Each scrolling stem terminates in angular palmettes and hooked blossoms rendered in muted pink and pale cream, creating a harmonious interplay of geometric structure and gentle floral flourish. A broad main border in rich terracotta frames the central field, its chain of serrated lozenges enclosing petite cream rosettes and accented by tiny hooked leaves. Inside and outside this, slender guard stripes echo the field’s vine-and-rosette motif in miniature against a cream ground, lending the composition a finely detailed finish. Subtle abrash in the hand-spun wool pile introduces slight tonal shifts—particularly in the beige field—imparting a softly aged, time-worn character. Hand-knotted with a low, durable pile, this 25×14-foot rug combines the bold clarity of tribal Ghiordes geometry with a warm, softly muted palette. It’s ideally suited to anchor a large formal space—such as a grand living room, gallery-style hall, or expansive study—bringing both graphic rhythm and inviting warmth to the interior.
