On the Design:

Connoisseurs will admire this vintage Zeki Múren’s design which explores beige underscores floral patterns in medallion and architectural style, with a play of Savonnerie and Art Deco sensibilities. The patterns are mainly forest green and bright red, with some more vibrant greens and rose tones in kind. 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.
