Kysari / 20879

This Kysari antique rug measures 117 x 168 cm and carries a prayer-form layout with a calm central field, stepped mihrab, and richly worked borders filled with stylised floral, geometric, and animal motifs. The palette rests in brown, cream, white, and muted rust, with notes of greyed blue that quiet the composition. Medium distress gives the wool a softened, timeworn surface, along with subtle fading and a settled, tactile character. Circa 1890 - 1910, it holds a measured, heritage-led presence, pairing detailed ornament with an open, contemplative centre. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
