About This Style

Vintage rugs are defined by an aged aesthetic, often featuring faded tones, abrash-like colour variation, and worn surface treatments that reflect mid-20th-century Anatolian hand-weaving traditions. Distressed rugs undergo specific treatments to mimic decades of natural wear, including selective fading and overdying, where a piece is submerged in a single-colour bath to reveal a ghost-pattern of the original design. These pieces preserve the history of village-workshop production, utilising regional motifs that have evolved over time.

Where It Works

The flatwoven construction allows this rug to lie flat against the floor, making it highly suitable for high-traffic areas such as hallways, kitchens, and living zones. Its profile is ideal for layering over larger rugs or placing in environments with underfloor heating.
