Gleyn - Vintage Medallion Rug - 5'3 X 9'2

This hand-woven, one-of-a-kind piece celebrates Anatolian heritage through a flatwoven construction, featuring a faded patina, abrash detail, and overdyed finish. With its 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 aged aesthetic, often referencing the mid-20th-century Anatolian hand-weaving tradition where pieces were produced in small village workshops using regional motifs. Distressed vintage rugs feature surface treatments such as abrash colour variation and selectively faded zones, often achieved through an overdyed finish that leaves ghost traces of the original pattern visible beneath the wash. Medallion rugs are defined by a central circular, oval, or diamond-shaped motif, a hallmark of classical design that, in Turkish production, is frequently rendered in a stylised, geometric form framed by a distinct border.

Where It Works

The flatwoven construction allows this rug to lie flat against the floor, making it highly functional for high-traffic areas such as hallways, kitchens, and living rooms. Its profile is compatible with underfloor heating systems and is suitable for layering over larger rugs to define specific zones.
