Sivas / 11179

This Sivas, 183 x 414 cm, presents a muted colourway of washed blues on neutral and cream ground. Oversized palmettes and scrolling foliate forms occupy an open field framed by a narrow floral border; the pattern blurs into painterly abrash across the length. The wool pile shows medium distress and softened highlights, producing a tactile, worn surface that retains the composition's graphic clarity. An antique rug with a calm, heritage-aware presence, it reads both archival and quietly contemporary. Circa 1885 - 1905. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
