Sivas / 17149

This Sivas antique rug measures 6' 8" x 10' 10" and reads in layers of softened ivory, taupe, and warm grey. A worn central medallion sits within a floral border and dispersed corner ornament, while the field has faded to a calm, atmospheric plane. The drawing remains legible, but the palette has mellowed with high distress and a patina that blurs detail in a pleasing way. Circa 1900 - 1930, it carries the quiet symmetry and restraint often associated with Sivas weaving, with wool texture and age giving the surface a grounded, tactile presence.
