Hand Knotted in wool circa 1960-1970, this 5x8 vintage Zeki Múren rug features a unique play of Art Deco and mid-century modern sensibilities for a Turkish rug. On the Design:Connoisseurs will admire this vintage Zeki Múren’s design which explores a play of beige underscores floral patterns with a sensibility almost like English needlepoints, particularly in its jewel tone pastels like teal green, indigo blue, mauve purple, gold, rose pink. The polychromatic colorway strikes a gorgeous balance between cool & warm tones. One must admire the sheer attention to craft that achieves this sense of movement—a hallmark of Müren’s rare style. Keen eyes for detail will note that this is some of Müren’s most subversive colors among his works, yet also one of his more humble palettes, both forgiving and playful—a comfortable and personal work from a mid-century artist. It’s a light and playful piece with the whimsy of a 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 suspected works curated today. Condition: This mid-century vintage Zeki Müren rug further enjoys good condition for its age and origin. Its construction has been lowered to preserve its construction, which lends it the distressed look of wear and chic in a low pile.
