Kysari / 15187

This Kysari antique rug in silk measures 201 x 284 cm and carries a poised allover arrangement of scrolling florals, mirrored arabesques, and small flowering sprays. A cream centre is tempered by muted green, navy, blush, and rose, while the darker border gathers the composition with a deeper floral cadence. The surface shows medium wear, gentle fading, and softened contrasts, all of which lend the piece a considered, lived-in character. Circa 1880 - 1900, it has the refined atmosphere and subtle lustre associated with silk, with pattern and colour held in elegant balance.
