Mapuos - Vintage Medallion Rug - 5'5 X 9'7

This hand-woven, one-of-a-kind piece represents Anatolian heritage through a flatwoven construction, showcasing a faded patina, abrash detail, and overdyed finish. Featuring a low-pile, no-shed, high-traffic durable surface, it is layering-friendly, underfloor-heating safe, and offers a reversible weave, soft-touch distressed character, 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 specifically incorporate an overdyed finish, where a saturated single-colour bath reveals ghost traces of the original pattern, while the medallion motif serves as a central anchor, typically rendered in geometric or stylised forms.

Where It Works

The flatwoven construction allows this rug to lie completely flush against the floor, making it suitable for high-traffic areas such as hallways, entryways, and kitchens. It is compatible with underfloor heating systems and is ideal for layering over larger carpets.
