Kysari / 15514

This Kysari antique rug, 4' 1" x 5' 5", is rendered in silk with a delicate figural composition that feels both lyrical and restrained. A pale field carries courtly figures beneath a branching tree, all framed by a pictorial border with architectural and floral passages. The palette moves through ivory, blush pink, faded red, and soft blue-grey, with gentle tonal shifts that speak to age and handling. Circa 1850 - 1870, the surface shows a medium level of distress, soft fading, and a quietly worn finish that adds depth without overwhelming the design.
