A type of ornate carpet or rug made in or style derived from Ghiordes (Gördes), a town in Turkey.
From Ghiordes (Turkish: Gördes), a town in western Turkey famous for rug production. The town's name likely derives from Byzantine Greek 'Gordus,' with roots in the ancient city of Gordium.
Ghiordes knots—the specific knot style used in these rugs—are more symmetrical and dense than other Oriental rug knots, making them incredibly durable but also more labor-intensive and expensive.
