On The Design:


Admirers of the craft will appreciate this playful interpretation of traditional elements that speaks to Müren as an eclectic designer and marks his rugs distinct in his period. A delicious cream and beige tone underscore a play of trellises and wreath-like floral patterns, with a warm, spring-like palette of gold, green, orange, and peach tones the keen eye will admire. There’s such a playful sense of movement and transitional, almost modern sense of life this piece breathes into such traditional floral patterns—an unexpected combination of the old and new, though certainly among Müren’s hallmarks of eccentric design. 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 enjoys good condition for its age and origin. Its pile height has been lowered to preserve its construction, which lends it the distressed look of wear and boho chic in the nap—a low pile height well-suited to swinging and sliding doors, among many clearance-conscious design applications.
