Gleas - Vintage Medallion Rug - 5'5 X 9'3

This hand-woven, one-of-a-kind piece embodies Anatolian heritage through its flatwoven construction, featuring a faded patina, abrash detail, and overdyed finish. With 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 variation, and distressed surface treatments. Medallion motifs serve as a dominant central anchor, while floral patterns incorporate botanical forms ranging from scrolled fields to rose-bouquet repeats. These designs frequently reference the mid-20th-century Anatolian hand-weaving tradition, where pieces were produced in village workshops using regional motifs and overdyed processes that reveal ghost traces of the original pattern.

Where It Works

The flatweave construction allows this rug to lie completely flat, making it suitable for high-traffic areas such as hallways, kitchens, and entryways. It is compatible with underfloor heating systems and is thin enough to be used for layering over larger rugs.
