Sivas / 16177

This Sivas antique rug measures 11' 4" x 21' 2", with a broad field of faded floral scrollwork softened by time into a layered wash of green, cream, turquoise, and magenta. The composition feels open yet richly ornamented, with a disciplined border sequence that still holds its outline against the worn central field. Circa 1895 - 1910, it carries the quiet irregularities and mellow patina that give wool rugs their depth. The result is a piece with presence and restraint, where age has blurred the pattern without diminishing its elegance.
