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 vintage rugs typically undergo a process where they are overdyed in a saturated bath, resulting in a ghost-pattern where the original design remains visible beneath the wash. Medallion rugs feature a dominant central motif, traditionally circular or diamond-shaped, framed by a distinct border, reflecting the classical Anatolian tradition of mid-20th-century artisanal production.

Where It Works

The flatwoven construction makes this rug suitable for high-traffic areas such as hallways, entryways, and kitchens. Its low-profile design is ideal for layering over larger carpets or placement in rooms with underfloor heating, providing a practical solution for both residential and commercial settings.
