On the Design:

Admirers of the craft will note that this piece is believed to be a Zeki Müren rug, yet it’s so simple that—while modern for its period—it could be another brilliant artisan of the era experimenting with minimalism. Keen eyes will further admire the execution of this concept with this almost impressionistic element, where such warm tangerine red and beige tones sit comfortable in any space while the technique still exhibits the beauty of a handmade rug—an exceptional work of personal craft in its neutral, comfortable presence. Its fabulous open field design is matched only in rarity by its exceptionally versatile size—among the best one could find of the technique with this tasteful natural patina and play of modern-meets-classic sensibilities today.

Condition:

This mid-century rug further enjoys good condition for its age and origin, and is ready for the floor. less
