Vintage Zeki Muren rug in Blue and Orange, with Floral patterns from Rug & Kilim

Hand-knotted in wool, circa 1960 – 1970, this 5×9 vintage Müren rug is an exciting new addition to Rug & Kilim Mid-century Pasha Collection. Its design is believed to be a rare work of mid-century atelier Zeki Müren. 

On the Design: 

Featuring a vibrant complementary combination of blue and orange, this vintage rug’s design demonstrates Zeki Müren’s unique talent for harmonizing unusual colors. Drawing inspiration from traditional rugs and European design sensibilities, this piece showcases a delightful balance between classic motifs and a playful sensibility. 

The all-over floral patterns, drawn with precision, infuse the rug with a sense of elegance. Connoisseurs will further admire the orange border that provides a sense of structure and definition, subtly guiding the viewer’s gaze towards the floral patterns in the field.

Condition:

This mid-century Zeki Müren rug further enjoys good condition for its age and origin. Its pile has been lowered to preserve its construction, which lends it a subtle look of distress and chic. This wear is mild, consistent with the age of the piece, and its overall condition is especially rare for this artist’s works
