Description
Antique Turkish Ghiordes Rug – Timeless Grace from Anatolia
Hand-Knotted | Anatolian Heritage | Museum-Worthy Craftsmanship
A true piece of woven history, this antique Turkish Ghiordes rug embodies the spiritual artistry and symmetrical beauty that define Anatolia’s most revered weaving traditions. Originating from the town of Ghiordes (Gördes) in Western Turkey, this rug features elegant borders and finely balanced motifs—rooted in centuries of devotional and decorative use.
Woven in the late 19th to early 20th century, this piece displays a harmonious palette of muted reds, soft blues, and sandy neutrals, all softened by age into a subtle, graceful patina. The wool pile is supple yet strong, and the classic Ghiordes knot (a hallmark of Turkish weaving) gives the rug its durable, symmetrical structure.
Ideal as a statement piece in a study, foyer, or quiet corner, this rug is as much an heirloom as it is a grounding element of design.
