Kysari / 16465

This Kysari antique rug measures 335 x 457 cm and offers a finely detailed pictorial composition in silk, gently mellowed by age. The central field is animated with figures, animals, trees, and pastoral motifs, then contained by layered borders with floral ornament and repeating medallion-like panels. Soft cream, blush red, faded rose, and muted olive create a restrained yet atmospheric palette, while visible wear and softened detail lend depth. Circa 1880 - 1900, it reads as a composed and storied textile, where time has quietened the imagery without diminishing its intricate presence.
