Blara - Vintage Medallion Rug - 5'8 X 9'8

This hand-woven, one-of-a-kind piece celebrates Anatolian heritage through a flatwoven construction, featuring a faded patina, abrash detail, and overdyed finish. With its low-pile, no-shed, high-traffic durable surface, it is layering-friendly and underfloor-heating safe. The reversible weave offers a soft-touch, distressed character with a ghost-pattern reminiscent of 70s craftsmanship, utilising a cotton-polyester blend for a single-piece artisanal finish with sun-bleached tones.

About This Style

Vintage rugs are designed to evoke an antique aesthetic, often featuring faded tones, abrash-like colour variation, and worn-look surface treatments. Distressed elements—such as selectively faded zones or erased pile—are frequently the result of an overdyed finish, where original motifs are left as ghost-patterns beneath a saturated colour wash. These designs often incorporate medallion or floral compositions, referencing the mid-20th-century Anatolian tradition where regional motifs were produced in small village workshops.

Where It Works

The flatwoven construction of this rug makes it suitable for high-traffic areas such as hallways, kitchens, and living zones. Its thin profile is ideal for layering over larger rugs or placing in areas with underfloor heating, providing a practical solution for busy residential environments.
