On the Design:

This special rug features playful and traditional elements that speaks to Müren as an eclectic designer and marks his rugs distinct in his period. The eccentric sense of movement achieved from geometric patterns in unexpected hues ranging from green, beige-brown, and maroon speak for a marriage of modernity with traditional cubist geometric 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 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. less
