About the Item

Made with hand-knotted wool in Turkey circa 1960-1970, this 6x9 vintage 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: One of the many arts of this piece is the variety of colors, and the smart way they’re used to lend such a playful sense of movement and modern mid-century flair to an otherwise soothing repeat of geometric-floral patterns—a mark of finesse considered one of Müren’s many hallmarks. Admirers of the craft 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 patterns (though the deft hand behind such a fine repeat with so many color variations is ahead of its time as well). Though polychromatic in its colorway, among the most present tones a warm orange open field underscores green, blue and beige-brown tones in the surrounding borders and central medallion alike. Keen eyes may further admire a particular influence from vintage and antique Persian rugs of the Heriz and Serapi provenance in this rug’s particular stylistic choices—one of many beauties that speak to Müren as an eclectic student of his craft, often known for reinterpreting classics with his own flair. His talent and the rarity of his remaining works today, too, speak to make his rugs as collectibles; each as distinct and special a find as they are inviting and whimsical in their vast design applications today. 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.
