Lot Essay

Carpets from Ghiordes are principally acknowledged for their prayer rug designs and were rarely produced at room-size. The sizeable scale of the present carpet is thus highly unusual however the design motifs remain immediately recognisable, with the small carnation spray repeated in alternating coloured bands enclosing a typical central lozenge medallion.
