On the Design:

Connoisseurs will admire this vintage Zeki Múren’s design which explores this work as among the works believed to hail from this artist that connote a mid-century modern approach to traditional Turkish motifs. Keen eyes for detail will admire the serrated geometric patterns like eight-pointed stars in red and light blue, some teal and beige tones in the medallion-meets-all-over-style. 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 that this is some of Müren’s most subversive colors among his works, yet also one of his more humble palettes, both forgiving and playful—a comfortable and personal work from a mid-century artist.

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 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
