About the Item
Art Deco Turkish Carpet by Zeki Müren
Size: 7'0" × 10'4" (213 × 314 cm)
Designed by the legendary Turkish artist Zeki Müren, this rare 1955 carpet is a striking example of mid-century modernism interpreted through the lens of Anatolian textile tradition. Seamlessly blending Bauhaus-inspired abstraction with a tactile, organic warmth, this Art Deco masterpiece brings together architecture, rhythm, and minimalism in one cohesive and highly collectible composition.
Rendered in a restrained palette of chestnut brown and warm taupe over a neutral beige field, the carpet’s linear pattern features overlapping angular grids, dashes, and hash marks that form a repeated architectural motif. The intersecting verticals and diagonals evoke scaffolding, radio towers, or early modernist blueprints—yet remain entirely abstract, creating a sense of intellectual tension and urban dynamism.
Upon closer inspection, the design reveals subtle texture shifts: some shapes are rendered in tightly compacted, shaded lines, while others appear more minimal and graphic. This layered execution adds visual depth and movement, drawing the eye across the field in rhythmic pulses.
Though unmistakably modern, the rug maintains a strong sense of craftsmanship and handmade character, a hallmark of Zeki Müren’s work. Woven in wool with a low, finely looped pile, it has a soft, matte texture that enhances its subdued elegance.
Zeki Müren, often referred to as the “Sun of Art” in Turkey, was not only a celebrated singer and performer but also a talented designer who brought the spirit of modernism into Turkish decorative arts. This rug is a rare and powerful example of his avant-garde design sensibility, and a tribute to the mid-century cultural dialogue between East and West.
This rug is part of the esteemed Doris Leslie Blau collection, renowned for its curated selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs. Doris Leslie Blau offers a vast selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs in a wide range of styles, materials, and price points, making fine textile art accessible to both collectors and designers alike.
