Kysari / 14518

This Kysari antique rug, woven in silk and measuring 4' 6" x 6' 4", carries a richly layered field of red softened by ivory, charcoal, and muted blue accents. A dense floral composition anchors the centre, framed by a darker border with palmettes, vines, and small-scale repeats that give the surface a measured rhythm. The drawing is refined but visibly worn, with low distress that lends warmth and quiet patina. Circa 1900 - 1915, it reflects the elegance of a hand-worn antique rug with depth, restraint, and a tactile, time-softened finish.
