About This Style

Vintage rugs are designed to evoke an antique aesthetic, often featuring faded tones, abrash-like colour variation, or worn-look surface treatments. Distressed rugs utilise surface treatments to mimic age, such as erased pile areas that reveal the base structure or overdyeing, where a rug is submerged in a single-colour bath to create a ghost-pattern effect. Medallion rugs feature a dominant central circular, oval, or diamond-shaped motif, a hallmark of classical Anatolian design, typically framed by a structurally distinct border.

Where It Works

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