Vintage Zeki Müren Runner with Polychromatic Geometric Patterns from Rug & Kilim

About the Item

This vintage Zeki Müren 3x9 runner rug, hand-knotted in wool, circa 1960-1970, is inspired by Turkish Kilim sensibilities in its drawing and scale adapted to a more colorful mid-century interpretation. On the Design: Connoisseurs will appreciate this design that represents one of Müren’s unique plays of polychromatic colorway and geometric chevron patterns that would become his celebrated styles. Its design showcases his ability to create a modern interpretation of classic floral patterns. Müren’s artistic capabilities shine through, in his deliberate use of eccentric colorway combinations, resulting in a visually striking composition. One must admire the sheer attention to craft that achieves this sense of movement—a hallmark of Müren’s rare style. Keen eyes for detail will note that this is some of Müren’s most subversive colors among his works, yet also one of his more humble palettes, both forgiving and playful—a comfortable and personal work from a mid-century artist. It’s a light and playful piece with the whimsy of a Müren rug, but also with the comfortable and livable undertone that his works also embody, so thoughtful in their approach to the postmodernist appeal of the time and collectible in his suspected works curated today. Condition: This vintage Zeki Müren rug further enjoys good 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.
