Kekera - Vintage Medallion Rug - 5'0 X 9'2

This hand-woven, one-of-a-kind piece embodies Anatolian heritage through its flatwoven construction, faded patina, abrash detail, and overdyed finish. Featuring a low-pile, no-shed, high-traffic durable surface, it is layering-friendly and underfloor-heating safe. The reversible weave offers a soft-touch, distressed character with a ghost-pattern, 70s craftsmanship, cotton-polyester blend, single-piece artisanal quality, and sun-bleached tones.

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. These pieces reference the mid-20th-century Anatolian hand-weaving tradition, where items were produced in small village workshops using regional motifs. Distressed vintage rugs frequently utilise an overdyed finish, where the original piece is submerged in a saturated colour bath, leaving ghost traces of the underlying pattern visible beneath the wash. The medallion style acts as a central anchor, typically rendered in geometric or stylised forms rather than curvilinear patterns, framed by a structurally distinct border.

Where It Works

The flatweave construction allows this rug to lie flat against the floor, making it highly practical for high-traffic areas such as hallways, entryways, and kitchens. Its thin profile is ideal for layering over larger rugs or placing in areas with underfloor heating.

Why Choose This Rug?

• — Features a central medallion motif characteristic of classical Anatolian design, rendered in a muted beige palette.
• — Constructed from a cotton and polyester blend, where cotton provides breathability and polyester ensures durability and moisture resistance for everyday use.
• — The flatwoven construction creates a no-pile surface that is easy to maintain, resistant to shedding, and compatible with underfloor heating.
• — These rugs reference the Anatolian hand-weaving tradition; each piece is one-of-a-kind, with minor variations in colour and pattern that are characteristic of vintage-style production.
• — The low-pile, reversible weave is durable enough for high-traffic zones and versatile enough for layering in open-plan living spaces.
