Kysari / 11646

A silk Kysari in a compact 4' 0" x 5' 6" format, this antique rug reads as quietly luminous and timeworn. A central medallion blooms into a dense floral field, while scalloped spandrels and multiple guard borders create a layered, intimate composition. The silk surface catches light across areas of abrash and medium distress, giving the ground a soporific, softened patina. Wear is even and tactile, revealing subtle shifts in tone between cream and cool blue accents on a neutral field. The result is a piece that balances refined weave language with an emphatic sense of age. Circa 1885 - 1900
