Fluteva - Vintage Distressed Rug - 5'5 X 9'6

This hand-woven, one-of-a-kind rug reflects the Anatolian heritage through a flatwoven construction, showcasing a 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, 70s craftsmanship, cotton-polyester blend, single-piece artisanal quality, and sun-bleached tones.

About This Style

Vintage rugs are defined by an aged aesthetic, often featuring faded tones, abrash colour variation, and worn-look surface treatments that reference mid-20th-century Anatolian hand-weaving traditions. Distressed vintage pieces undergo intentional surface treatment or overdyeing, a process where a saturated colour bath leaves ghost traces of the original pattern visible beneath the wash. Medallion designs serve as a hallmark of this tradition, utilising central geometric or stylised motifs framed by distinct borders to anchor the composition.

Where It Works

The flatwoven construction of this rug ensures it lies flat against the floor, making it highly suitable for high-traffic areas such as hallways, entryways, and kitchens. Its thin profile is ideal for layering over larger rugs, and the material composition is fully compatible with underfloor heating systems.
