Vintage Zeki Müren Rug With Green Floral Medallion, From Rug & Kilim

Hand-knotted in wool and originating from Turkey circa 1960 – 1970, this 8×11 vintage Zeki Müren rug is a unique addition to the Rug & Kilim Collection.

On the Design:

Admirers of the craft will appreciate this vintage rug for its whimsical yet smart sensibilities, in the most exceptional color and a great size suited to wider spaces—as versatile for interior design as it is collectible for admirers of this provenance. Connoisseurs will admire this rare piece from Zeki Müren’s more playful mid-century modern interpretations with a green floral medallion seldom seen in his works. This Zeki Müren rug is particularly rare for absence of distress and playful sense of movement and the transitional sense of life this piece breathes into more traditional patterns. 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. Connoisseurs and collectors will note this rug is among the few full-pile pieces believed to remain of Müren’s works, making it especially rare and collectible.
