A late 19th century Turkish Ghiordes rugs, the light brown field with repeated primitive geometric leaf motifs around a stepped medallion containing Anatolian floral motifs and a floral centerpiece, within a caramel angular flowering vine border.

Since the beginning of their production in the 18th century, antique rugs from the Anatolian town, Ghiordes have mostly been known for their rectilinear, colorful, multi-bordered antique prayer patterns.
