About This Style

Vintage rugs are defined by an aesthetic that evokes an antique appearance, often featuring faded tones, abrash-like colour variation, and worn-look surface treatments. Distressed elements, such as selectively faded zones or erased pile, are frequently the result of an overdyed finish, where a rug is submerged in a saturated colour bath to create a ghost-pattern of the original motif. The medallion style anchors the composition with a central circular, oval, or diamond-shaped motif, typically framed by a structurally distinct border in keeping with classical Anatolian design.

Where It Works

The flatwoven construction ensures this rug lies flush against the floor, making it suitable for high-traffic areas such as hallways, entryways, and kitchens. Its profile is compatible with underfloor heating systems and is ideal for layering over larger carpets or hard flooring.
