Description

A very striking rug from West Anatolia, made in or near the town of Ghiordes. I love the combination of pinky red, which is derived from small beetles, and the light blue. I find it very attractive and pleasingly contemporary, despite the rug being well over 150 years old!

Some old repairs but essentially in very good condition.

Date of Manufacture

James Cohen Antique Carpets has dated this Antique Ghiordes Rug to the 1850s.

FAQs

Ghiordes rugs originate from the town of Ghiordes in western Anatolia, known for centuries of traditional weaving using distinctive asymmetrical knotting and rich cultural motifs.

These pieces are traditionally crafted with handspun wool piles on wool or cotton foundations, utilizing natural vegetable dyes derived from plants, roots, and minerals.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the natural wear of the wool, consistency of hand-knotted foundations, irregularities in vegetable dye lots, and specific border designs characteristic of the era.

Layering the textile over neutral hardwood floors adds textural warmth and historical contrast, serving as a focal point in living areas or hallways.

Protect the textile from direct sunlight to prevent dye fade, vacuum with a non-beater attachment on low power, and utilize professional rug conservation cleaning services when necessary.
