Silk Sivas / 10048

A Silk Sivas woven in silk, 292 x 409 cm, exhibiting a generous tree-of-life centre set within a richly detailed floral ground. The composition pairs a soft neutral ground with pale blue accents and warm gold highlights, the silk pile lending a refined lustre and subtle pile shading. Borders carry repeating floral cartouches while the lower register contains small figural and avian motifs that articulate the narrative field. Condition is low distress with gentle fading and restrained abrash that enhances the rug’s patina. Read as an antique rug with considered age and craft. Circa 1885 - 1915
