Sivas / 15686

This Sivas antique rug measures 12' 0" x 19' 9" and presents a spacious allover field of scrolling floral forms softened by age. The red ground is balanced by warm neutral and blush pink notes, while the border remains faintly legible around the perimeter. Woven in wool, it carries a medium level of distress with a gracefully worn surface and muted contrasts that speak to long use. Circa 1880 - 1895, the composition feels refined yet relaxed, with an elegant rhythm that remains visible beneath the patina. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
