About This Style

Vintage rugs are designed to evoke an antique aesthetic, often featuring faded tones, abrash-like colour variation, or worn-look surface treatments. Distressed rugs utilise a surface treatment that mimics age, such as erased pile areas or selective fading, often resulting from an overdyed finish where the original rug is submerged in a saturated colour bath, leaving ghost traces of the original pattern visible. Medallion rugs feature a dominant central motif, typically circular, oval, or diamond-shaped, which serves as the anchor for the composition and is framed by a structurally distinct border.

Where It Works

The flatweave construction allows this rug to lie completely flat against the floor, making it ideal for high-traffic areas such as hallways, kitchens, and entryways. It is suitable for use over underfloor heating and functions well for layering over larger rugs to create depth.
