On the Design:

Admirers of the craft will appreciate this as both an extremely collectible and fabulous find in Müren’s signature rugs.

His distinct, playful choices, sense of movement, bold presence and whimsy are hallmarks of his personal, eclectic art rugs.

Condition:

This mid-century Zeki Müren rug further enjoys good condition for its age and origin. Its construction is like few of this artist’s works with full pile and exceptional quality—a very rare find. less
