Mopiex - Vintage Medallion Rug - 5'7 X 8'8

This hand-woven, one-of-a-kind Anatolian heritage rug features a flatwoven construction with a faded patina, abrash detail, and overdyed finish. It offers a low-pile, no-shed, high-traffic durable surface that is layering-friendly and underfloor-heating safe. With a reversible weave, soft-touch distressed character, ghost-pattern, 70s craftsmanship, cotton-polyester blend, single-piece artisanal quality, and sun-bleached tones, it is an authentic vintage piece.

About This Style

Vintage rugs are defined by an aged aesthetic, often utilising surface treatments to mimic the wear of mid-20th-century pieces produced in small Anatolian workshops. Distressed vintage rugs frequently feature abrash—colour variation within a single tone—and ghost-patterns created by overdying, where a saturated wash reveals the original motif beneath. Medallion motifs serve as the central geometric anchor, while floral elements provide decorative detail derived from traditional botanical and vine-based vocabulary.

Where It Works

The flatwoven construction of this rug ensures it lies perfectly flat, making it suitable for high-traffic areas such as hallways, entryways, and dining rooms. Its thin profile is ideal for layering over larger carpets or placement in spaces with underfloor heating.
