Nepima - Vintage Medallion Rug - 5'5 X 10'0

This hand-woven, one-of-a-kind piece celebrates Anatolian heritage through a flatwoven construction, showcasing a faded patina with abrash detail and an overdyed finish. Featuring a low-pile, no-shed, high-traffic durable surface, it is layering-friendly and underfloor-heating safe, offering a reversible weave and 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. These pieces reference the mid-20th-century Anatolian hand-weaving tradition, where items were produced in small village workshops using regional motifs. Distressed vintage rugs often undergo an overdying process, where the piece is submerged in a saturated colour bath, leaving ghost traces of the original pattern visible beneath the wash. A medallion rug is defined by a dominant central motif, typically circular, oval, or diamond-shaped, which anchors the composition and is frequently framed by a structurally distinct border.

Where It Works

The flatwoven construction of this rug makes it suitable for high-traffic areas such as hallways, kitchens, and living rooms. Its low-profile design is ideal for layering over larger carpets or placement in areas with underfloor heating.

Why Choose This Rug?

• — Features a prominent central medallion motif in beige and purple tones, characteristic of classical Anatolian design.
• — Constructed from a cotton and polyester blend, where cotton provides breathability and polyester adds durability and moisture resistance for everyday use.
• — The flatwoven, no pile construction ensures the rug lies flat against the floor and is easy to maintain.
• — 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.
• — Highly practical for high-traffic areas and compatible with underfloor heating systems due to its robust, thin-profile weave.
