Guzeda - Vintage Medallion Rug - 5'5 X 8'2

This hand-woven, one-of-a-kind piece embodies Anatolian heritage through a flatwoven construction, featuring a faded patina, abrash detail, and overdyed finish. With 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, it captures a 50-70 year old aesthetic.

About This Style

Vintage rugs are designed to evoke an antique aesthetic, often featuring faded tones, abrash colour variations, or surface treatments that mimic decades of use. Distressed vintage rugs frequently undergo an overdyeing process, where the original textile is submerged in a saturated colour bath, leaving ghost traces of the underlying pattern visible. The medallion motif serves as a central anchor, typically rendered in geometric or stylised forms that are characteristic of mid-20th-century regional Anatolian workshops.

Where It Works

The flatwoven construction ensures this rug lies flat against the floor, making it highly suitable for high-traffic areas such as hallways, kitchens, and entryways. Its profile is ideal for layering over larger carpets or placement in rooms with underfloor heating.
