Vintage Zeki Müren Extra-Long Runner in Red with Colorful Stripes - Rug & Kilim
Made with hand-knotted wool and originating circa 1960-1969, this 3x24 vintage extra-long runner rug is an exciting new piece in Rug & Kilim’s Mid-Century Pasha Collection—a rare curation believed to hail from mid-century Turkish artist and icon Zeki Müren.
On The Design:
Admirers of the craft will appreciate this vintage rug for its whimsical yet smart sensibilities, in the most exceptional color and an extra-long runner size suited to many gallery and hallway spaces—as versatile for interior design as it is collectible for admirers of this provenance. Connoisseurs will admire this rare piece from Zeki Müren’s more playful mid-century modern interpretations with geometric striped patterns in rich tones of red, beige-brown, green, blue and ivory seldom seen in his works.
Keen eyes for detail will further appreciate the way such uncommon colors for the period breath a modern sense of life into such traditional patterns like this play of geometric striped patterns (though the deft hand behind such a fine repeat with so many color variations is ahead of its time as well). Both this talent for making a classic his own and quality of work, too, speak to Müren as a student of his craft, and make his works as collectible to the connoisseur as they are inviting and whimsical to designers.
Condition:
This mid-century rug enjoys good condition for its age and origin. Its pile height has been lowered to preserve its construction, which lends it the distressed look of wear and boho chic in the nap—a low pile height well-suited to swinging and sliding doors, among many clearance-conscious design applications.
"Rug & Kilim has become a go-to for us. The vintage and modern inventory is unlike anywhere else, the team is easy to work with, and the custom program holds up to the same standard."
