Hand-knotted in wool circa 1960-1970, this 5x9 vintage Art Deco rug is a rare signed piece by Zeki Müren. The artist’s signature is in the lower left corner, and a second signature reads “Leopar” in the upper left (Muren’s name for this series, which means “Leopard” in Turkish).
On the Design:
Admirers of the craft will appreciate this as both an extremely collectible and fabulous find in Müren’s signature rugs. The abstract design, loosely inspired by Leopard print, also draws on a bold modernist European look and feel. Gold underscores and green and orange geometric patterns with black and white accents, or ‘spots’ per the theme. It’s a graphic, yet comfortable and approachable piece that speaks to this artist as a master of his craft. 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
