This hand-woven, one-of-a-kind piece embodies Anatolian heritage through its flatwoven construction, faded patina, and abrash detail.

About This Style

Vintage rugs are designed to replicate the aesthetic of antique floor coverings, often featuring faded tones, abrash colour variations, and distressed surface treatments. The medallion motif serves as a central focal point, typically framed by distinct borders, while floral elements draw from traditional botanical patterns. Distressing is achieved through techniques like overdyeing, which creates a ghost-pattern effect by revealing the base structure beneath a saturated colour wash.

Where It Works

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