On the Design:

A rust and navy blue colorway strikes a gorgeous balance between dark & warm tones in the dense geometric patterns. One must admire the sheer attention to craft that achieves this sense of movement—a hallmark of Müren’s rare style. Admirers of the craft will note Müren’s hallmark of whimsical hues, not to mention his sense of movement—traditional sense of symmetry meets a diagonal orientation of color variation one seldom sees in this kind of architectural look. 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


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
