This Kysari antique rug, woven in silk and measuring 135 x 173 cm, presents a layered field of deep red, cream, charcoal, and muted blue, softened by age and gentle wear. Its composition unfolds through floral arabesques, scrolling borders, and palmette forms, with a central presence that feels both structured and painterly. Circa 1890 - 1910, the surface has a subtle lustre and a well-worn hand that lends warmth to the pattern. The fringing and softened edges reinforce its lived-in character, while the faded detailing gives the rug a calm, timeworn elegance.
