Antique 19th Century Turkish Ghiordes Carpet, Country of Origin: Turkey, Circa date: Mid-Nineteenth Century – Here is a truly impressive and impeccably woven antique Oriental rug – an antique Ghiordes carpet that was woven in Turkey during the middle years of the nineteenth century. Characterized by an impressive and complex design, this antique Turkish carpet features lavish decoration and a sophisticated design throughout. Among antique Turkish rugs and carpets, those of Ghiordes origin are considered to be among the most desirable, and this impressive work of art demonstrates the myriad reasons as to just why this is the case. First, the borders of this tribal antique rug are extraordinarily richly decorated, featuring a rich and complex pattern of traditional floral and vine scroll elements. The field is also richly decorated: running in a diagonal from the upper right to the lower right positions of the carpet, a series of lines, red, blue and ivory, proceed throughout the entire field of the carpet. Four corner pieces enhance the action in the field, as does the slightly irregular shape that stands in the place of a traditional central medallion. Eccentric yet impeccably composed, this antique Ghiordes carpet from Turkey is an excellent example of an important and popular style of antique Oriental rug weaving.
