Dafaen - Vintage Medallion Rug - 5'5 X 9'7

This hand-woven, one-of-a-kind Anatolian heritage piece features a flatwoven construction, 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, this beige medallion rug offers a classic aesthetic.

About This Style

Vintage rugs are designed to evoke an antique aesthetic, often featuring faded tones, abrash colour variation, and distressed surface treatments that mimic decades of wear. The medallion style is defined by a dominant central motif, typically circular or diamond-shaped, which anchors the composition and is frequently framed by a distinct geometric border. Distressing in these pieces is often achieved through an overdyed finish, where the rug is submerged in a colour bath to reveal ghost-pattern traces of the original design beneath.

Where It Works

The flatwoven construction makes this rug suitable for high-traffic areas such as hallways, kitchens, and entryways. It is compatible with underfloor heating and its low-profile nature allows for seamless layering over larger rugs.

Why Choose This Rug?

• — Features a central medallion motif characteristic of classical Anatolian design, rendered in a subtle, sun-bleached beige palette.
• — Constructed from a cotton and polyester blend; cotton provides essential breathability, while polyester ensures durability and moisture resistance for everyday use.
• — The flatwoven construction ensures the rug lies perfectly flat, preventing tripping hazards and making it an ideal choice for high-traffic zones.
• — 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.
• — Highly versatile for practical spaces, including underfloor-heated rooms, and functions effectively as a layering piece to create depth in interior layouts.
