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

This hand-woven, one-of-a-kind rug reflects a rich Anatolian heritage through its flatwoven construction, faded patina, abrash detail, 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 in beige and brown.

About This Style

Vintage rugs are designed to evoke an antique aesthetic, often featuring faded tones, abrash colour variation, or worn-look surface treatments. Distressed vintage pieces frequently undergo an overdying process, where the rug is submerged in a saturated colour bath to reveal a ghost-pattern of the original motif beneath the wash. Medallion and floral styles draw from classical Anatolian design, utilising central anchors and botanical motifs that reflect mid-20th-century regional craftsmanship.

Where It Works

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