Kysari / 14938

This Kysari antique rug in silk measures 137 x 208 cm and presents a restrained palette of cream, red, ivory, and charcoal. The layout is centred by a floral medallion, then surrounded by scrolling vine motifs and an intricate border that softens into the field at the edges. Medium distress gives the surface a worn, velvety character, with visible fading that tempers the red and deepens the darker notes. Circa 1900 - 1915, it reads as layered and timeworn, with the quiet refinement associated with silk and age. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
