It’s a rare and exciting new curation from Rug & Kilim’s Mid-Century Pasha Collection—a collection devoted to Müren’s remaining and inspired works in our craft today.

On the Design:

Chartreuse field underscores large-scale geometric patterns in red and black, with sharply drawn shapes and grid-like details lending an almost abstract sensibility—a playful mid-century modern sense of dimensionality among Müren’s celebrated design traits. Admirers of the craft will appreciate this rug among Müren’s select works with a bright and unexpected palette, as well as the marriage of bold, dramatic shapes and a more playful, whimsical look that distinguishes many of his works from other mid-century turkish rugs.

Condition:

This vintage Zeki Müren rug further enjoys great condition for its age and origin, as well as nearly all its full pile, with minimal areas of wear—an extremely collectible find among his works both designers and curators in high-end rugs will appreciate today. less
