Mesoda - Vintage Medallion Rug - 5'5 X 9'2

This blue hand-woven, one-of-a-kind piece embodies Anatolian heritage through its flatwoven construction, faded patina, abrash detail, and overdyed finish. Featuring a low-pile, no-shed, high-traffic durable surface, it is layering-friendly and underfloor-heating safe. The reversible weave offers a soft-touch, distressed character with ghost-pattern 70s craftsmanship, a 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, or worn-look surface treatments. These pieces reference the tradition of mid-20th-century Anatolian hand-weaving, where items were produced in small village workshops using regional motifs. Distressed vintage rugs specifically utilise overdyeing, a process where an original rug is submerged in a saturated colour bath, leaving ghost traces of the original pattern beneath the wash. A medallion motif, typically a central circular or diamond-shaped design, serves as the anchor for these classical compositions, framed by a distinct structural border.

Where It Works

The flatwoven construction of this rug ensures it lies flat, making it suitable for high-traffic areas such as hallways, entryways, and kitchens. It is also an ideal choice for layering over larger carpets or placement in rooms with underfloor heating.

Why Choose This Rug?

• — Features a prominent central medallion motif typical of classical Turkish design, enhanced by a distressed, overdyed blue finish.
• — Constructed from a cotton and polyester blend, providing the breathability of natural fibres with the added durability and moisture resistance of synthetic materials.
• — The flatwoven construction results in a no-pile surface that is easy to maintain, does not shed, and provides a stable base for high-traffic environments.
• — 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 to be layering-friendly and compatible with underfloor-heating systems due to its lightweight, low-profile weave.
