Kysari / 15166

This Kysari antique rug, measuring 6' 3" x 9' 5", presents a softened field of dusty red, ivory, and brown with a dark, sculpted medallion holding the composition in balance. Floral arabesques and petite rosettes drift across the ground, while the border adds a quieter architectural frame with cartouche-like repeats. The silk surface lends a subtle sheen even through visible wear, fading, and abrash, which temper the palette with warmth and restraint. Circa 1885 - 1900, it carries the patina of age with a refined, tactile presence that feels layered rather than ornate.
