Sivas / 10041

Quiet and finely worn, this Sivas in wool is an antique rug measuring 269 x 353 cm with a faded red medallion at its centre set against a pale neutral ground. Traced floral vines and small sprays populate the field, while scalloped cartouches and a sequence of floral borders retain deeper crimson and cream reserves. Medium wear and gentle abrash have softened outlines and lifted the pile, lending a tactile, heritage-worn character that foregrounds fibre and draft. Circa 1900 - 1915. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
