Lafoan - Vintage Medallion Rug - 5'3 X 8'9

This beige and brown hand-woven, one-of-a-kind piece embodies Anatolian heritage through its flatwoven construction, faded patina, abrash detail, overdyed finish, 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.

About This Style

Vintage rugs are designed to evoke an antique aesthetic, often featuring faded tones, abrash colour variation, and distressed surface treatments. These pieces frequently incorporate a medallion, a dominant central motif, or floral botanical patterns derived from traditional Ottoman and 20th-century regional motifs. Distressing occurs through decades of use or intentional overdyeing, a process where the rug is submerged in a single-colour bath to reveal ghost traces of the original pattern beneath the surface.

Where It Works

The flatweave construction allows this rug to lie flat, making it suitable for high-traffic areas such as hallways, entryways, and kitchens. It is compatible with underfloor heating and functions well for layering over larger rugs or floor surfaces.
