A silk Kysari showing an elongated mihrab and an ornate tree-of-life centre, framed by layered floral borders. The warm gold ground and brown design sit with a quiet lustre, while low distress and gentle abrash lend calm texture and depth to the weave. This antique rug measures 127 x 183 cm and retains strong compositional balance between field and border, speaking to a considered hand and timeworn refinement. Circa 1860 - 1880 The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time. Subtle tonal variation keeps the drawing legible and grounded.
