Enjoy a reversible weave, soft-touch distressed character, ghost-pattern, 70s craftsmanship, cotton-polyester blend, single-piece artisanal quality, and sun-bleached tones.

About This Style

Vintage rugs are designed to evoke an antique aesthetic, often featuring faded tones, abrash colour variation, and worn-look surface treatments. Distressed rugs utilise specific treatments to mimic decades of use, including overdying, where a rug is submerged in a saturated colour bath to reveal a ghost-pattern of the original design. Medallion rugs are defined by a dominant central circular or diamond-shaped motif, a hallmark of classical Anatolian composition framed by distinct structural borders.

Where It Works

The flatwoven construction allows this rug to lie perfectly flush against the floor, making it ideal for high-traffic areas such as hallways, entryways, and kitchens. It is fully compatible with underfloor heating systems and is highly effective for layering over larger carpets to define specific zones.
