Kysari / 16645

This Kysari antique rug, 114 x 157 cm, pairs a saturated red prayer field with a pale, floral surround and a finely drawn border in cream, muted pink, slate blue, and soft grey. The composition is formal but softened by age, with a central mihrab-like form, suspended ornament, and repeating blossom motifs giving the piece a measured, architectural rhythm. Low distress leaves the drawing legible while introducing a gentle, timeworn surface and subtle tonal variation. Circa 1900 - 1915, it reflects the quiet richness and heritage feel associated with the category.
