Made with hand-knotted wool in Turkey circa 1960-1970, this 5x8 vintage rug is an exciting new addition to Rug & Kilim’s Mid-Century Pasha Collection—a line of our classics devoted to works believed to hail from Turkish multidisciplinary artist Zeki Müren. On the Design: The colorway is a play or rosy, almost salmon pink and burgundy red, with cream accents the keen eye will further note in the trellis floral patterns. Admirers of the craft will appreciate Müren’s signature at play in the choice of such unexpected, playful hues with more traditional geometry—a hallmark of his transitional look, among the many different styles this eclectic artist would approach. Each piece is a unique take on an aesthetic, which speaks to Müren as a devoted student of his craft ahead of his time, and works like these have a fabulous marriage of contemporary and Shabby Elegance feel today. Condition: This mid-century rug further enjoys good condition for its age and origin. Its pile has been lowered to maintain its construction, which creates the look of a distressed rug, though it is perfectly ready for the floor as is.
