Kysari / 15694

This Kysari antique rug in silk measures 10' 0" x 14' 6", with a vivid red field softened by neutral, pink, and ivory ornament. A large scalloped medallion anchors the composition, while floral spandrels and dense border work create a layered, architectural frame. The surface shows low distress and a graceful, timeworn sheen that lends depth to the saturated palette. Circa 1900 - 1915, it carries the poised, decorative clarity associated with the Kysari tradition, balanced by a rich, painterly finish that feels both formal and lived-in. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
