Mekios - Vintage Medallion Rug - 5'0 X 8'4

This yellow hand-woven, one-of-a-kind Anatolian heritage rug features a flatwoven construction with a faded patina, abrash detail, and overdyed finish. Its low-pile, no-shed, high-traffic durable surface is layering-friendly and underfloor-heating safe, highlighting 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 colour variation, and worn-look surface treatments. Distressed vintage pieces frequently undergo an overdyeing process, where the original rug is submerged in a saturated colour bath to create a ghost-pattern effect. Medallion rugs are defined by a dominant central motif—typically circular, oval, or diamond-shaped—which serves as the anchor for the overall composition and is enclosed by a structurally distinct border.

Where It Works

The flatweave construction allows this rug to lie perfectly flush against the floor, making it ideal 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 areas or dining rooms.

Why Choose This Rug?

• — Features a central medallion motif rendered in a geometric style, accentuated by an overdyed yellow finish that showcases the underlying pattern.
• — Constructed from a cotton and polyester blend; the cotton provides natural breathability, while the polyester adds long-term durability and moisture resistance.
• — The flatwoven construction ensures a no-pile surface that is easy to maintain, resistant to shedding, and prevents tripping in busy households.
• — These rugs reference the Anatolian hand-weaving tradition; each piece is one-of-a-kind, with minor variations in colour and pattern that are characteristic of vintage-style production.
• — Designed for longevity, the rug is suitable for high-traffic environments and remains safe for use over underfloor heating.
