Ghiordes Rug, Turkey, Late 19th Century – This spectacular antique carpet from Turkey features an ornate hourglass medallion decorated with angular vine scrolls and quirky palmettes woven in a bold combination of warm colors that accentuate the uniquely Turkish geometry and composition. Wide saffron-yellow borders and narrow guard bands decorated with botanical motifs enclose the brightly colored field. Woven during the turn of the century, this carpet features a chic color palette that pairs sunny Mediterranean colors with a bold medallion, stout pendants and complementary spandrels rendered in a cool combination of verdigris, teal and celadon. Ivory accents highlight the geometric palmettes and offset the saffron yellow borders, contrasting outlines and vermilion field.
