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

This beige, hand-woven, one-of-a-kind piece embodies Anatolian heritage through a flatwoven construction, faded patina, abrash detail, overdyed finish, low-pile, no-shed, high-traffic durable, layering-friendly, underfloor-heating safe, reversible weave, soft-touch, distressed character, ghost-pattern, 70s craftsmanship, cotton-polyester blend, single-piece artisanal, 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. Distressed vintage pieces result from decades of use combined with overdying, a process where the original rug is submerged in a single-colour bath to reveal ghost traces of the pattern. Medallion designs anchor the composition with a central motif, while floral elements incorporate botanical vines and blossoms, reflecting mid-20th-century Anatolian hand-weaving traditions.

Where It Works

The flatwoven construction of this rug ensures it lies flat, making it suitable for high-traffic areas such as hallways, kitchens, and living rooms. Its profile is layering-friendly for use over larger rugs and is safe for installation over underfloor heating systems.
