Kysari / 12040

A silk Kysari anchored by a scalloped central medallion and a layered floral field, this antique rug offers a restrained colour palette of muted red, ivory and brown. The 198 x 295 cm format is defined by narrow guard stripes and a broader outer border with palmette and animal panels, the composition mellowed by medium wear. Subtle abrash and a low even sheen in the silk lend depth and texture, tempering the pattern into a gentle, timeworn surface. Circa 1885 - 1900, the rug reads as a tactile study in refined colour and considered craft.
