About This Style

Vintage rugs are designed to evoke an antique aesthetic, often featuring faded tones, abrash colour variation, or distressed surface treatments. Medallion rugs centre on a dominant circular or diamond-shaped motif, a hallmark of classical Anatolian design, while floral compositions incorporate botanical forms like blossoms and vines. Distressing often results from decades of use combined with overdyeing, a process where the original rug is submerged in a colour bath, leaving ghost traces of the original pattern visible beneath the wash.

Where It Works

The flatweave construction allows this rug to lie perfectly flush against the floor, making it highly suitable for high-traffic areas such as hallways, kitchens, or dining rooms. Its thin profile is ideal for layering over larger carpets, while the material composition ensures it is compatible with underfloor heating systems.
