On the Design:

Admirers of the craft will appreciate this vintage rug for its whimsical yet smart sensibilities, in the most exceptional color and a great size suited to wider spaces—as versatile for interior design as it is collectible for admirers of this provenance. Keen eyes may admire the signature in the respective corners—-“Mineli Kosk” is a series by Müren and one of the only remaining works of it we know today. The title “Mineli Kosk” loosely translates to “Enameled Mansion” in English, though Mineli is also a name in several cultures, subject to interpretation. This is a piece of history as much as a gorgeous one-of-a-kind work of art—exemplary of Müren’s playful, unexpected designs and the unique approach to mid-century modern aesthetics that would become one of his hallmarks coveted today. Dark, almost midnight blue tones underscore a vibrant series of floral patterns. Connoisseurs may further note that this is rare also for its absence of distress, a rare full pile and playful sense of movement and the transitional sense of life this piece breathes into more traditional patterns.

Condition:

This signed vintage Zeki Múren rug further enjoys good condition for its age and origin, and is rare for its construction in full pile. less
