Hand-knotted in wool and originating from Turkey circa 1960 – 1970, this 5x9 vintage Zeki Müren rug is a unique addition to the Rug & Kilim Collection featuring European-inspired design in green with medallion and geometric patterns across the field.
On the Design:
Connoisseurs may admire the playful sense of movement and the transitional, almost modern sense of life this piece breathes into more traditional patterns, like the geometric patterns with particularly rich colors. Keen eyes will note chartreuse green and beige-brown tones underscoring a play of floral and medallion patterns in an all over style – looking inspired by European French classics like Savonnerie and Aubusson rugs. Admirers of the craft will further admire the sheer attention to variation and movement created therein—an exemplar of Müren’s most distinguished works. That marriage of a sense of whimsy and a smart approach to classic design principles is one of the celebrated calling cards in Müren’s rare works. Few in his era, if any, had such a deviation to color variation like that in this comfortable rug and its brilliant sense of movement.
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
