Flaos - Vintage Medallion Rug - 5'9 X 8'4

This hand-woven, one-of-a-kind piece embodies Anatolian heritage through its flatwoven construction, faded patina, abrash detail, and overdyed finish. Featuring a low-pile, no-shed, high-traffic durable surface, it is layering-friendly and underfloor-heating safe. The reversible weave offers a soft-touch, distressed character with a ghost-pattern and 70s craftsmanship, utilising a cotton-polyester blend for single-piece artisanal sun-bleached tones.

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 reference the mid-20th-century Anatolian hand-weaving tradition, where items were produced in village workshops using regional motifs. Distressing is typically achieved through decades of use or intentional overdyeing, a process that leaves ghost traces of the original pattern beneath a saturated wash. The medallion motif serves as a central anchor, typically rendered in geometric or stylised forms common to classical carpet design.

Where It Works

The flatweave construction makes this rug suitable for high-traffic areas such as hallways, kitchens, and entryways. Its profile is ideal for layering over larger carpets and is fully compatible with underfloor heating systems.
