Blehema - Vintage Medallion Rug - 5'10 X 9'1

This hand-woven, one-of-a-kind piece captures Anatolian heritage through a flatwoven construction, featuring a faded patina, abrash detail, and overdyed finish. With its 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 remains a distinct beige and brown vintage medallion rug.

About This Style

Vintage rugs are designed to evoke an antique aesthetic, often featuring faded tones, abrash-like colour variation, or worn-look surface treatments. These pieces frequently reference the mid-20th-century Anatolian hand-weaving tradition, where textiles were produced in small village workshops using regional motifs. Distressed examples often undergo an overdying process, where a rug is submerged in a saturated colour bath, leaving ghost traces of the original pattern visible beneath the wash. Medallion rugs are defined by a dominant central motif—circular, oval, or diamond-shaped—which acts as the primary anchor for the composition, framed by a structurally distinct border.

Where It Works

The flatwoven construction of this rug ensures it lies completely flat, making it ideal for high-traffic areas such as hallways, kitchens, and living rooms. This design is also suitable for layering over larger carpets and is entirely safe for use in areas with underfloor heating.

Why Choose This Rug?
