Cimema - Vintage Medallion Rug - 5'9 X 9'10

This hand-woven, one-of-a-kind piece celebrates Anatolian heritage through a flatwoven construction, featuring a faded patina and abrash detail. With 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 50-70 year old aesthetic.

About This Style

Vintage rugs are designed to evoke an antique aesthetic, often featuring faded tones, abrash colour variation, and distressed surface treatments. These pieces frequently incorporate a medallion—a central circular, oval, or diamond-shaped motif—alongside floral patterns ranging from dense Ottoman-inspired vines to mid-century rose-bouquet repeats. Distressing is commonly achieved through decades of use or intentional overdying, a process that leaves ghost traces of the original pattern beneath a saturated colour wash.

Where It Works

The flatwoven construction of this rug ensures it lies completely flush against the floor, making it suitable for high-traffic areas like hallways, kitchens, and dining spaces. Its profile is ideal for layering over larger carpets or placement in rooms with underfloor heating.

Why Choose This Rug?

• — Features a central medallion motif framed by intricate floral borders, rendered in classic beige and brown tones with a vintage-distressed finish.

• — The flatweave construction creates a no-pile surface that is resistant to shedding and easy to maintain in active 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.
• — Designed for longevity in high-traffic areas, this rug is fully compatible with underfloor heating systems and serves as an excellent base for layering.
