Sivas / 11351

A Sivas in wool fibre, 130 x 198 cm, the muted mauve field resting around a warm brown centre medallion. Low distress and gentle abrash lend a velvety surface to the stepped geometric and floral motifs, edged by multiple floral borders. The colour range, neutral, brown and muted red, with navy and olive accents in the borders, reads as age-worn and thoughtfully composed. This antique rug carries a restrained, architectural quality; its palette and surface wear speak to long use and careful conservation, offering subtle depth and tactility. Circa 1900 - 1920
