Vintage Zeki Müren Art Deco Rug in Yellow with Abstract Pattern from Rug & Kilim

This 4×7 Vintage Art Deco rug is believed to be a rare work from mid-century artist Zeki Müren. Hand-knotted in wool circa 1960-1970, this rug employs a range of playful colors and modern, abstract patterns. 

On the Design: 

Its pops of color further enjoy a smart play of gold-yellow background, with patterns in silver-gray, rich brown and red. Connoisseurs may appreciate this design as an example of Müren’s unique marriage of mid-century modern and art deco sensibilities. The rug’s design enjoys abstract geometric patterns in a post-modern sensibility, with a dynamic look both modern and graphic. The fluid patterns, reminiscent of undulating waves or cascading movements, evoke the feeling of brushstrokes in a painting.

Condition:

This mid-century Zeki Müren rug further enjoys a rare good condition for its age and origin. Its construction is like few of this artist’s works with full pile and exceptional quality—a rare find with vast applications today.
