This Kysari antique rug, 208 x 279 cm, is woven in silk with a nuanced palette of deep red, cream, white, and muted olive. The composition centres on an ornate medallion set within a warm red field, with dark spandrels and a finely worked floral border that brings balance to the whole. Its low distress leaves the design legible, while soft surface wear and gentle tonal shifts add depth. Circa 1900 - 1915, it has the quiet richness and historical character that define a considered antique rug. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
