On the Design:

Connoisseurs will admire this vintage Zeki Múren’s design which explores a series of geometric patterns in a lattice, like a minimalist take on damask or fleur de lis floral patterns in a more boho chic fashion. The polychromatic colorway strikes a gorgeous balance between cool & warm tones. One must admire the sheer attention to craft that achieves this sense of movement—a hallmark of Müren’s rare style. Keen eyes for detail will note some playful touches of variation in the otherwise comfortable sense of repetition, a work of whimsy and country chic like the best of this artist’s works believed to remain.

It’s a light and playful piece with the whimsy of a Müren rug, but also with the comfortable and livable undertone that his works also embody, so thoughtful in their approach to the postmodernist appeal of the time and collectible in his suspected works curated today.

Condition:

This mid-century 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. See less
