Glian - Vintage Medallion Rug - 5'10 X 9'8

This red, hand-woven, one-of-a-kind piece embodies Anatolian heritage through its flatwoven construction, faded patina, abrash detail, and overdyed finish. Featuring a low-pile, no-shed, high-traffic durable surface, it is layering-friendly, underfloor-heating safe, and offers 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-like colour variation, and worn-look surface treatments. These pieces frequently reference the mid-20th-century Anatolian hand-weaving tradition, where items were produced in small village workshops using regional motifs. Distressing, often resulting from decades of use and overdyed finishes, creates a ghost-pattern effect where original designs remain visible beneath the saturated colour. The medallion motif, a hallmark of classical Anatolian design, serves as a dominant central anchor, typically rendered in geometric or stylised forms framed by distinct borders.

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, entryways, and kitchens. Its low-profile design is ideal for layering over larger rugs or placing in spaces with underfloor heating.

Why Choose This Rug?
