On the Design:

Admirers of craft may note a mid-century take on Turkish tribal rug designs, keeping with Müren’s shabby-chic meets boho-chic interpretation of traditional styles. The design favors brown underscores, green, pink and red geometric patterns—little variations of color lend a playful touch to otherwise soothing, cozy repetition which is a hallmark of Müren’s love for comfortable yet subversive pieces that always remind us what a student of his craft he was. Keen eyes for detail will further admire the sheer attention to variation and movement created therein—an exemplar of Müren’s most distinguished works. Müren’s artistic capabilities shine through, in his deliberate use of eccentric colorway combinations, resulting in a visually striking composition.

Condition:

This mid-century Zeki Müren runner 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. See less
