20th Century Yellow Orange Green Black, Zeki Muran Leopard Turkey Rug circa 1960

About the Item

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.
