Kysari / 16966

This Kysari antique rug, 3' 9" x 5' 4", is rendered in silk with a softly faded palette of cream, pale pink, and muted grey. An arched central field gathers scrolling florals into a layered, almost architectural composition, while the border carries a quieter floral repeat that frames the design with restraint. The surface shows medium wear, with areas of gentle thinning and age-softened colour that enhance its hushed character. Circa 1800 - 1850, it reflects the delicate balance of ornament and atmosphere that defines the form. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
