Sivas / 12186

A Sivas in a deep red field, 140 x 201 cm, the design centres on a medallion surrounded by scrolling palmettes and floral tendrils. Wool fibres carry gilt and teal accents against soft neutral details, producing a layered, tactile surface that retains a low level of wear and subtle abrash. The narrow, foliated borders frame the field with steady rhythm and clear definition. The overall effect is composed and quietly aged, the sort of measured character found in a well-preserved antique rug. Circa 1900 - 1915 The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
