On the Design:

A rich green underscores an almost open field design, with mirrored floral patterns in beige-brown tones relegated to the upper right and lower left corners. Keen eyes will further admire pictorial representations of vases in the patterns—a celebrated motif in Chinoiserie rugs as well as similar oriental provenances often considered to be of the Chinese Deco aesthetic. This rare piece from Zeki Müren is a more playful mid-century modern interpretation of a 1920s look, with Chinese style floral patterns in rich tones seldom seen in his works.

Admirers of the craft will appreciate this vintage rug for its whimsical, shabby-chic yet graceful and comfortable 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.

Condition:

This mid-century rug further enjoys good condition for its age and origin. Its pile has been lowered to maintain its construction, which creates the look of a distressed rug, though it is perfectly ready for the floor as is. See less
