Kitaus - Vintage Distressed Rug - 5'11 X 9'5

This purple 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 offers a sophisticated aesthetic.

About This Style

Vintage rugs are defined by an aged aesthetic, often featuring faded tones, abrash-like colour variation, and worn-look surface treatments that reference mid-20th-century Anatolian hand-weaving traditions. Distressed rugs utilise surface treatments to mimic decades of natural wear, frequently incorporating an overdyed finish where the original piece is submerged in a saturated colour bath. This process reveals a ghost-pattern of the original motifs beneath the wash, resulting in a unique texture and depth characteristic of authentic, artisanal production.

Where It Works

The flatweave construction allows this rug to lie perfectly flat, making it 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.
