Hand-knotted in wool circa 1960-1970, this 4x7 vintage runner rug is believed to originate from the rare works of mid-century Turkish artist Zeki Müren. On the Design: Admirers of the craft may appreciate this vintage rug that carries all-over floral geometric patterns and a rich colorway of navy blue, teal and burgundy red, with a loose inspiration from Persian Herati rugs. Keen eyes will note light pink accents, keeping with the playful, smart sensibility, even in Müren’s subversive rugs like these, known for their distinct take on classic rug patterns. Connoisseurs may admire the playful sense of movement and the transitional, almost modern sense of life this piece breathes into more traditional patterns, like the floral patterns with particularly rich colors and jewel tones. A rich piece, both comfortable and sophisticated, with a Shabby Elegance charm and gorgeous textural look – worthy of discerning projects.ConditionThis Vintage Zeki Müren rug further enjoys great 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.
