Graex - Vintage Medallion Rug - 5'6 X 9'9

This hand-woven, one-of-a-kind rug celebrates Anatolian heritage through a flatwoven construction featuring a faded patina, abrash detail, and overdyed finish. 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 define this beige medallion piece.

About This Style

Vintage rugs are designed to evoke an antique aesthetic, often featuring faded tones, abrash-like colour variation, or worn-look surface treatments. These pieces reference the mid-20th-century Anatolian hand-weaving tradition, where items were produced in small village workshops using regional motifs. Distressing in these rugs often results from decades of use combined with overdying, a process where the original rug is submerged in a saturated colour bath, leaving a ghost-pattern of the original design visible. The medallion motif, a hallmark of classical design, serves as a central anchor, typically rendered in geometric or stylised forms framed by a distinct border.

Where It Works

The flatwoven construction of this rug ensures it lies flat, making it practical for high-traffic areas such as hallways, entryways, and kitchens. It is compatible with underfloor heating systems and is suitable for layering over larger carpets.
