Antique Turkish Ghiordes Carpet, Country of Origin: Turkey, Circa date: 1900 — This antique Turkish carpet represents the best ideals of elegantly understated design. Two primary gold borders frame the softer shades of beige and cream that act as the backgrounds to their respective sections in the carpet. The rich honeyed gold borders are, themselves in turn, framed by eggshell white trimming, with simple leaf-like shapes dancing within each of the bounds. At the center of the carpet is a collection of beautiful flowers and stems, eclectic in their arrangement, and with plenty of space given between them to showcase the centering colors of the background itself, creating in this antique rug a visual of fallen leaves on a luxurious palace floor.

Two beautiful golden borders laced with eggshell white trimming frame soft layers of cream and beige cascading around light dancing pink flowers that stand tall and transform into vibrant and fun geometric shapes of their own.

Antique Turkish Ghiordes rugs are of the most popular and sought after carpets in the world! Typically, these knotted-pile carpets are created from the finest of wool and placed over a hand-spun cotton foundation; this traditional technique assures an extremely durable and well-made carpet that can withstand the test of time.

Similar to Oushak rugs, vibrant canvases, robust colors and light pastels are also common characteristics found in a Ghiordes rug, but are often only found in larger area rugs and room-sized carpets.

While larger Antique Turkish Ghirodes carpets are easy to spot to the trained eye and are widely available, small Ghiordes rugs have marked the early success of this carpet style as traditional prayer rugs. Their breathtaking architectural pillars, highly decorative spandrels and angular prayer niches have captivated Turkey, surrounding areas and rug collectors everywhere,  but ironically it consist of only one-third of the total carpet production in the city of Ghiordes.

So what makes this gorgeous Antique Turkish Ghiordes Carpet so unique? Its eclectic colors and striking floral motif forms a beautiful garden of classic silhouettes that can potentially compliment any elegant design in your home. Magnetic flower petals and sprouting leaves lean in to create subtle silhouettes that stay true to authentic Turkish patterns, yet it also captures the essence of simple beauty that exists in modern interior design.

This hand-woven Antique Ghiordes Turkish Carpet is a historical gem that weaves in deep traditional culture with an heir of classic Persian elegance that you can surely make a grand statement with.
