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 a specific surface treatment where overdying—submerging a rug in a saturated colour bath—leaves ghost traces of the original pattern visible beneath the wash. Medallion rugs are defined by a dominant central circular or diamond-shaped motif, a hallmark of classical design, typically framed by a structurally distinct border.

Where It Works

The flatwoven construction allows this rug to lie flat against the floor, making it highly suitable for high-traffic areas such as hallways, kitchens, and living rooms. This design is also compatible with underfloor heating and functions well for layering over larger carpets.

Why Choose This Rug?

• — Features a classical central medallion motif rendered in a contemporary blue palette, highlighting the intricate ghost-pattern of the underlying design.
• — Crafted from a cotton and polyester blend, where the cotton provides breathability and the polyester adds durability and moisture resistance for everyday use.
• — The flatwoven construction ensures a no-pile surface that remains stable on the floor and is resistant to shedding in busy environments.
• — These rugs reference the Anatolian hand-weaving tradition; each piece is one-of-a-kind, with minor variations in colour and pattern that are characteristic of vintage-style production.
• — Engineered for high-traffic durability and layering, this rug is perfectly suited for high-activity spaces and areas equipped with underfloor heating.
