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 a surface treatment that mimics age and wear, such as selectively faded zones or erased pile areas that reveal the base structure. This often results from decades of use combined with overdyeing, a process where a rug is submerged in a saturated colour bath, leaving ghost traces of the original pattern visible beneath the wash.

Where It Works

The flatweave construction allows this rug to lie flush against the floor, making it highly suitable for high-traffic areas such as hallways, entryways, and kitchens. It is compatible with underfloor heating systems and serves as an effective base for layering in larger living zones.
