This Kysari antique rug in silk measures 190 x 287 cm and presents a nuanced mix of cream, red, pale blue, and restrained neutral tones. A central medallion holds the composition together, surrounded by floral tracery, palmettes, and a finely worked border that frames the field with quiet complexity. The surface shows medium distress, with softened colour and age wear that add depth and texture. Circa 1900 - 1915, it has the measured elegance and timeworn character of a piece shaped by use and careful preservation. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
