Rug & Kilim’s French Savonnerie inspired, Vintage Zeki Muren Rug

Hand-knotted in wool, circa 1960 – 1970, this 6×9 vintage French Savonnerie-inspired Müren rug is a modern interpretation of a Neoclassical style. 

On the design: 

With a modern Neoclassical interpretation, this vintage Zeki Müren rug, hand-knotted in wool, has been inspired from French Savonnerie design. Zeki Muren skillfully combines traditional elements with a modern sensibility, resulting in a rare design. The color play of orange, yellow, red, and blue adds a dynamic and energetic flair to the composition. Connoisseurs will further appreciate the attention to detail as evident in the intricate medallion, geometric patterns in the border, and floral geometric motifs that adorn the entire rug.

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
