20th Century White and Red Turkish Art Deco Rug Designed, Zeki Muren, circa 1930

About the Item

Zeki Müren (1931-1996) was a famous Turkish singer famous for his bizarre costumes and his female makeup that made her a cultural icon in the 1960s and 1970s. Müren was also a versatile artist and a designer, who in the same years created drawings and patterns in neo-Baroque style, then transformed into carpets for his home on the Bosphorus. Subsequently produced on a commercial scale, the Müren carpets are the expression of a particular artistic taste, with geometries that recall precious stones, abstract shapes and psychedelic designs, with which he challenged the aesthetic standards of his time and his country.

    Iconic carpet of the production designed by Zeki Muren, singer and design highly appreciated in the 1950s as well as for his talent as an artist for his eccentric style that characterized his entire production. His style and taste influenced the production of carpets produced in the city of Sparta between 1950 and 1970, but only a few are actually designs made by Muren who often gave a name to his creations and in the weaving, he entered his signature as in the carpet that we present. The yellow, orange, green and black colouring characterize this rare specimen whose name Leopard makes a clear reference to the feline fur.
