Kysari / 19157

This Kysari antique rug measures 4' 7" x 6' 2", and presents a restrained field framed by layered borders and calligraphic bands. A dark central niche form anchors the composition, while olive, beige, brown, and muted red details soften across the surface. The silk weave lends a refined, fluid hand, tempered here by medium wear and the quiet patina of age. Circa 1875 - 1890, it carries a balanced tension between formal symmetry and expressive ornament, giving the piece a grounded, collected presence. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
