It is believed to hail from the designs by the Turkish artist, Zeki Müren.

On the Design:

Connoisseurs will appreciate this design that represents unique colorways of green, beige/brown, and pink tones, and geometric floral patterns that would become his celebrated styles. This piece, as believed to be a design by Zeki Müren, is particularly exceptional, especially in such a creative way to deconstruct this transitional style and use its elements in his own way. This piece featuring an interesting confluence of styles like the medallion-meets-floral style on an open field, with subversive colors, all hallmarks of his style and one-of-a-kind pieces, represents Müren’s take on European sensibilities and is an extremely personal and lively piece. As a whimsical take on a regal design, it is an elegant classic leading to a boho-chic beauty, a one-of-a-kind work of charm exemplary of this artist.

Condition:

This vintage Zeki Müren rug further enjoys good condition for its age and origin. Its construction has been lowered to preserve its construction, which lends it the distressed look of wear and chic in a low pile. less
