Admirers of the craft will appreciate this rich red field design which exemplifies intricate geometric patterns in blue and brown-black that span its entire surface, showcasing a remarkable level of detail and precision. Keen eyes will further note the interconnected geometric patterns creating symmetry—further lending a gorgeous movement to the runner piece. This special rug features playful and traditional elements that speaks to Müren as an eclectic designer and marks his rugs distinct in his period. Connoisseurs may admire the playful sense of movement and the transitional, almost modern sense of life this piece breathes into more traditional patterns.

It’s a light and playful piece with the whimsy of a Zeki 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 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
