Kysari / 16146

This Kysari antique rug measures 3' 9" x 4' 9" and carries a quietly timeworn presence in silk. A central prayer-niche form is framed by layered borders, floral medallions, and softened scrolling detail, all rendered in a palette of cream, blush red, and faded terracotta. The surface shows medium distress, with gentle fading and abrasion that mute the pattern into a more atmospheric register. Circa 1900 - 1915, the composition balances structure and softness, letting the worn sheen and delicate variation in tone define its character. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
