Kysari / 17126

This Kysari antique rug, measuring 284 x 417 cm, is worked in a softened palette of ivory, sand and beige, with muted blue and purple accents threaded through the field. The composition is delicate and open, built from a fine scatter of small floral motifs and held by a restrained border that keeps the drawing composed. Woven in silk, it has a gentle lustre beneath the evident age, with high distress, fading and softened contrast across the surface. Circa 1910 - 1930, it offers the quiet, layered character that gives an antique rug its lasting appeal.
