A measured Sivas in wool, its red field and cream borders arranged around a refined centre medallion and scrolling floral motifs. The neutral ground tones and restrained white highlights create a considered, tactile surface with low visible wear and a gentle abrash that softens the pattern. The borders remain well defined and the pile shows modest, even patina that speaks to age without loss of clarity. This antique rug marries lively motifing with a quiet, heritage sensibility. Circa 1885 - 1900. Measurements: 145 x 206 cm. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
