Mebaya - Vintage Medallion Rug - 5'8 X 9'9

This hand-woven, one-of-a-kind piece embodies Anatolian heritage through a flatwoven construction, featuring a faded patina, abrash detail, and overdyed finish. With a 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, this beige medallion rug offers a refined aesthetic.

About This Style

Vintage rugs evoke an antique aesthetic through faded tones, abrash colour variations, and distressed surface treatments that mimic decades of wear. These pieces often feature a central medallion, a hallmark of classical Anatolian design, alongside intricate floral motifs derived from botanical forms. Overdyeing processes further enhance this character, creating a ghost-pattern effect where the original 20th-century craftsmanship remains visible beneath a saturated colour wash.

Where It Works

The flatwoven construction ensures this rug lies flush against the floor, making it ideal for high-traffic areas such as hallways, entryways, and kitchens. Its profile is layering-friendly for use over larger carpets, and it is fully compatible with underfloor heating systems.
