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. Distressing refers to a surface treatment that mimics natural age, often through the selective fading of pile or the application of an overdyed finish, where a rug is submerged in a saturated colour bath to create a ghost-pattern effect. These pieces typically reference the mid-20th-century Anatolian tradition, where small village workshops utilised regional motifs and natural dyes.

Where It Works

The flatweave construction allows this rug to lie perfectly flat, making it ideal for high-traffic areas such as hallways, kitchens, and entryways. Its profile is compatible with underfloor heating systems and is suitable for layering over larger carpets or hard flooring surfaces.
