Kysari / 15676

This Kysari antique rug in silk measures 198 x 295 cm and carries a gentle palette of cream, blue, white, and muted coral tones. Its composition is centred by a formal medallion, then softened by scrolling vines, floral sprays, and an elegant border that frames the field without overpowering it. The surface shows medium distress, with visible fading and a mellow, timeworn character that quietens the drawing. Circa 1890 - 1910, it feels balanced between ornament and restraint, with the luminous presence and delicate texture associated with silk. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
