On the Design:

Connoisseurs will appreciate this design that represents one of his rare pieces in ‘solid’ tones, though even such a simple and comfortable piece is far from ordinary when done by Zeki Müren. It’s a delicious use of silver and gray tones and a muted look of pattern born of the weaving technique—subtle yet fabulous.

Keen eyes for detail will further admire the sheer attention to variation and movement created therein—an exemplar of Müren’s most distinguished works. It represents a muted take on medallion patterns, again one of his few pieces approaching the idea of ‘plain’ and still a rich and interesting work of shabby-chic art exploring subtlety—most of all its beauties it’s so comfortable and livable

Condition:

This mid-century 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. See less
