Sivas / 12764

Sivas in wool, an elegantly restrained antique rug defined by a linked chain of stepped medallions and a compact field of tiny pictorial motifs. The neutral ground and brown registers are warmed by touches of cream and white, rendering a tactile, aged palette. Borders show closely worked lozenge bands and a finely scaled guard sequence that frames the central medallions. Low distress and a soft patina preserve a refined surface texture. Circa 1925 - 1940. This Sivas, sized 4' 6" x 7' 3", reads like a wearable fragment of regional craft, quietly detailed and measured in tone.
