Sivas / 11179

This Sivas measures 6' 0" x 13' 7" and reads as a quiet study in patina. Faded blues float against a warm neutral and cream ground, the oversized palmette motifs and foliated arabesques resolving into a soft, open composition. Medium distress reveals subtle abrash and softened pile that give the wool a tactile, lived-in surface while preserving the design's formal rhythm. An antique rug with restrained scale and an archival colour story, its surface balances monumentality with a gentle immediacy. Circa 1900 - 1920. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
