Kysari / 15366

This Kysari antique rug in silk measures 5' 2" x 7' 0" and presents a finely worked pictorial field alive with trees, flowering branches, birds, and animals. The ivory ground keeps the composition airy, while sage, blush, muted red, and gold accents create a layered, botanical rhythm. A series of floral borders and calligraphic panels adds structure and quiet formality. Circa 1880 - 1900, the rug shows low distress and a soft, even patina that complements its delicate surface and detailed drawing. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
