Vintage Zeki Müren Art Deco rug in Red, with All Over Floral Motifs, from Rug & Kilim

Hand-knotted in wool, circa 1960 – 1970, this 8×9 vintage Müren Art Deco rug is an exciting new addition to Rug & Kilim Mid-century Pasha Collection. Its design, displaying an industrial attitude within Art Deco, is believed to be a rare work of mid-century atelier Zeki Müren. 

On the Design: 

Emanating from a distinct industrial attitude within the realm of Art Deco design, Zeki Müren, in this vintage rug, has presented a fusion of traditional elements reimagined in a modern context. Its rich brick-red hue serves as the backdrop for the interaction of beige-brown and blue geometric floral motifs. Connoisseurs will appreciate the meticulous balance achieved between the soothing repetition of motifs and the vibrant sense of movement created by the dynamic color palette. 

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.
