On the Design:

Connoisseurs may admire the playful sense of movement and the transitional, almost modern sense of life this piece breathes into more traditional patterns, like the abstract patterns with particularly rich colors. This design is unlike almost any other work we believed to hail from Müren, even considering his bombastic and subversive, playful designs. Keen eyes will enjoy the gold underscores of an almost medallion-style design of abstract geometric patterns, racing from the center out in vibrant hues like that of an expressionist painting adapted to a more refined subtlety. Admirers of the craft will further admire the sheer attention to variation and movement created therein—an exemplar of Müren’s most distinguished works. That marriage of a sense of whimsy and a smart approach to classic design principles is one of the celebrated calling cards in Müren’s rare works.

Condition:

This mid-century vintage Zeki Müren rug further enjoys good condition for its age and origin, and enjoys a rare full pile. 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
