Fafais - Vintage Medallion Rug - 5'2 X 8'6

This hand-woven, one-of-a-kind piece celebrates 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 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 variations, or distressed surface treatments. Medallion designs serve as a central anchor, typically rendered in geometric or stylised forms rather than curvilinear patterns, while floral motifs incorporate botanical elements like blossoms and vines. These pieces often undergo an overdying process, which reveals ghost-pattern traces of the original design beneath a saturated colour wash.

Where It Works

The flatwoven construction allows this rug to lie flush against the floor, making it ideal for high-traffic areas such as hallways, entryways, and kitchens. Its profile is layering-friendly and compatible with underfloor heating systems.

Why Choose This Rug?
