Piohova - Vintage Medallion Rug - 5'1 X 8'1

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

About This Style

Vintage rugs are defined by an aesthetic that evokes an antique appearance, typically featuring faded colour palettes, abrash-like variations, or deliberate surface treatments. A distressed finish often results from a combination of natural wear and overdying, a process where the original textile is submerged in a saturated bath to reveal ghost traces of the underlying pattern. Medallion motifs serve as a hallmark of classical design, presenting a central circular, oval, or diamond-shaped focal point framed by a distinct border, reflecting the mid-century traditions of Anatolian village workshops.

Where It Works

The flatweave construction allows this rug to lie flush against the floor, making it an appropriate choice for high-traffic areas such as hallways, entryways, or kitchens. Its thin profile is compatible with underfloor heating systems and is suitable for layering over larger carpets.

Why Choose This Rug?

• — Features a prominent central medallion motif consistent with classical Anatolian design, rendered in a neutral beige palette.
