Kysari / 15694

This Kysari antique rug in silk measures 305 x 442 cm, with a vivid red field tempered by neutral, pink, and ivory detail. A commanding scalloped medallion sits within floral spandrels and finely worked borders, giving the composition a balanced, ornamental structure. The low distress reads as soft fading and a gently worn, even surface, which enhances the rug’s luminous silk texture. Circa 1900 - 1915, it reflects the refined decorative language of the Kysari tradition, with a palette and pattern that feel layered, poised, and quietly expressive. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
