A Beautiful Antique Turkish Ghiordes Gallery Size Rug, Country of Origin: Turkish rug, Circa Date: 1900 – Perennially popular, Ghiordes and antique Turkish Oushak rugs tend to be prized for their uniquely decorative  and ephemerally monochromatic color compositions, in which subtly contrasting hues are utilized for the field and for the detail work, creating area rugs with a deeply understated beauty. This antique Ghiordes is a symphony of luscious cream and tan tones accented with sparing linear detail in soft coral based reds. One might easily think that this detail largely comprises the pattern, but a closer look reveals the intervening design in tan on cream. This is the sort of subtle play of colorism for which Oushak as well as the antique Turkish Ghiordes rugs are so prized nowadays. A beautiful example, this antique gallery size rug, from Turkey, is a striking composition and a beautiful addition to any home’s interior decor.

The serene lines of this antique Turkish Ghiordes rug create the impression of a pen and ink drawing, or perhaps a gentle watercolor background in beautifully blended tones.

The muted tones of the antique rug give it a subtle flavor that will complement the room, yet not overpower it. It can easily serve as a supporting piece that has a charm all its own. The size of the rug will allow it to fill the space of the room, yet retain its delicate and refined character.
