Gekua - Vintage Medallion Rug - 5'1 X 8'4

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

About This Style

Vintage rugs are designed to evoke an antique aesthetic, often featuring faded tones, abrash-like colour variation, or worn-look surface treatments. Distressing mimics age through selectively faded zones or erased pile areas, often resulting from overdyeing—a process where the original rug is submerged in a saturated colour bath, leaving ghost traces of the original pattern. The medallion, a dominant central motif, serves as a hallmark of classical design, typically rendered in geometric or stylised forms framed by a distinct border.

Where It Works

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