Pepuna - Vintage Medallion Rug - 4'11 X 9'0

This yellow hand-woven, one-of-a-kind Anatolian heritage piece features a flatwoven construction, faded patina, abrash detail, and overdyed finish. With its low-pile, no-shed, high-traffic durable surface, it is layering-friendly and underfloor-heating safe, offering 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 through faded tones, abrash-like colour variation, and worn-look surface treatments. These pieces often reference the mid-20th-century Anatolian hand-weaving tradition, utilising regional motifs and historically significant production methods. Distressed vintage rugs typically undergo an overdyed process, where a saturated colour bath reveals ghost traces of the original patterns, while the medallion motif serves as a central focal point, framed by structurally distinct borders.

Where It Works

The flatweave construction allows this rug to lie perfectly flush against the floor, making it an ideal choice for high-traffic areas such as hallways, kitchens, and entryways. Its profile is suitable for layering over larger rugs to create depth, and its thermal conductivity makes it safe for use over underfloor heating systems.

Why Choose This Rug?

• — Features a prominent central medallion motif rendered in a geometric style, complemented by a distressed overdyed yellow finish that highlights the ghost-pattern underneath.
• — Constructed from a cotton and polyester blend; the cotton provides natural breathability, while the polyester ensures long-term durability and moisture resistance.
• — The no-pile, flatwoven construction ensures the rug lies flat and resists shedding, maintaining a clean appearance even in active 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 versatility, the rug is reversible and highly durable, suitable for high-traffic zones or as a foundation layer in larger floor compositions.
