This Kysari antique rug, measuring 3' 9" x 5' 3", pairs a luminous silk ground with an intricately layered border system and a prayer-form field. The composition feels balanced yet softly worn, with blush red, cream, gold, and muted teal details set against a pale, glowing centre. Floral pendants and small geometric rosettes create a measured rhythm across the surface, while the low distress lends quiet depth and a fluid hand. Circa 1850 - 1865, it carries the refined atmosphere and textile sheen that define this format. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
