Vintage Zeki Müren Art Deco Rug, with Polychromatic Patterns, from Rug & Kilim

Hand-knotted in wool, circa 1960 – 1970, this 4×7 vintage Zeki Müren Art Deco rug is a unique addition to the Rug & Kilim Collection for its polychromatic colors and the sense of movement created through them and the patterns.

On the Design: 

Connoisseurs will appreciate the one-of-a-kind design with polychromatic geometric patterns further accentuated by the sense of movement created by them. Keen eyes will further note the interconnected geometric patterns that create a sense of immersion and balance. Müren was known as an eclectic designer and certainly no stranger to the history of craft in his own nation, yet this is an even more collectible piece since his takes on the Turkish look were often in a similar scale. This particular rug is such a smart way to use that style in a modern, almost minimal way where color is the star. 

The playful colors within the geometric patterns lend a more exciting sense of movement to otherwise comfortable, easy to decorate with geometry. Admirers of craft will appreciate the eclectic sensibility of this rug, reflecting Muren’s artistic prowess.

Condition: 

This mid-century Zeki Müren rug further enjoys good condition for its age and origin. Its construction has been lowered to preserve its construction, which lends it the distressed look of wear and chic in a low pile.
