On the Design:

Admirers of the craft will appreciate this design’s geometric patterns in chartreuse green and cream tones and the playful sense of movement their variety and intricacy lends the piece. This special rug features playful and traditional elements that speaks to Müren as an eclectic designer and marks his rugs distinct in his period. This rug is among Müren’s select works with a more reserved palette, and his use of bold figures and unexpected colors stands out both among works of the period and even among modern rugs today.

Few ateliers could create such a smart sense of depth and dimensionality in such a reserved way, and this piece is exemplary of that beauty, as well as the many others that speak to Müren as a master of his craft. 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 vintage Turkish rug enjoys good condition for its age and origin, with only subtle areas of a distressed look lending to its Boho Chic charm. See less
