This Kysari antique rug measures 140 x 188 cm, and pairs a disciplined architectural layout with weathered, decorative detail. The black central niche form is set within a field of neutral tones, brown, and muted red, then enclosed by calligraphic borders and narrow geometric guards. Silk gives the surface a subtle sheen, now softened by medium distress and visible age. Circa 1875 - 1890, it reads as both structured and tactile, with a patina that deepens the sense of history across the full composition. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
