Blarama - Vintage Medallion Rug - 5'2 X 9'1

This blue hand-woven, one-of-a-kind piece embodies Anatolian heritage through its flatwoven construction, faded patina, and abrash detail. Featuring an overdyed finish, low-pile, no-shed, high-traffic durable, layering-friendly, underfloor-heating safe, reversible weave, soft-touch, distressed character, ghost-pattern, 70s craftsmanship, cotton-polyester blend, single-piece artisanal, and sun-bleached tones, it captures a distinct aesthetic.

About This Style

Vintage rugs are curated to evoke an antique aesthetic, often featuring faded tones, abrash colour variation, and worn-look surface treatments. These pieces reference the mid-20th-century Anatolian hand-weaving tradition, where items were produced in small village workshops using regional motifs. Distressed vintage rugs frequently undergo an overdying process, where the original textile is submerged in a saturated colour bath, allowing a ghost-pattern of the underlying design to remain visible beneath the wash.

Where It Works

The flatwoven construction of this rug allows it to lie flush against the floor, making it highly suitable for high-traffic areas such as hallways, entryways, and kitchens. Its low-profile design is compatible with underfloor heating systems and is effective for layering over larger carpets.

Why Choose This Rug?

• — Features a prominent central medallion motif framed by a structurally distinct border, characteristic of classical Anatolian design.
• — Constructed from a cotton and polyester blend; the cotton provides natural breathability, while the polyester adds durability and moisture resistance for everyday use.
• — Designed with a no-pile, flatweave construction that lies flat, prevents shedding, and facilitates easy maintenance in busy households.
• — These rugs reference the Anatolian hand-weaving tradition; each piece is one-of-a-kind, with minor variations in colour and pattern that are characteristic of vintage-style production.
• — The reversible weave and durable composition ensure suitability for high-traffic zones and provide a stable base for layering.
