Pivuna - Vintage Medallion Rug - 5'4 X 9'5

This hand-woven, one-of-a-kind piece preserves 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, underfloor-heating safe, and offers 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, often featuring faded tones, abrash-like 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 styles frequently utilise an overdyed finish, where a rug is submerged in a saturated colour bath to reveal ghost-pattern traces of the original design beneath the wash, while medallion styles anchor the composition with a central geometric or stylised motif framed by a distinct border.

Where It Works

The flatweave construction allows this rug to lie perfectly flush against the floor, making it suitable for high-traffic areas such as hallways, entryways, and kitchens. Its low-profile design is ideal for layering over larger carpets or placement in rooms with underfloor heating.
