About This Style

Vintage rugs evoke an aged aesthetic, often utilising surface treatments to mimic decades of wear, such as abrash colour variations and erased pile. Medallion rugs are defined by a central circular, oval, or diamond-shaped motif, while floral designs incorporate botanical forms like blossoms and vines. Distressed finishes often involve overdying, where a rug is submerged in a saturated colour bath, leaving ghost traces of the original pattern visible beneath the wash.

Where It Works

The flatwoven construction allows this rug to lie perfectly flat, making it suitable for high-traffic areas, hallways, and busy kitchens. It is compatible with underfloor heating systems and serves as an effective base for layering in living rooms or dining areas.

Why Choose This Rug?

• — Features a traditional medallion centrepiece complemented by intricate floral motifs and a distressed, sun-bleached aesthetic.

• — Designed with a flatwoven construction and no pile, ensuring the rug lies flat against the floor and is easy to maintain.
• — 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.
• — Practical for high-traffic zones, underfloor heating, and layering due to its durable, non-shedding, and low-profile nature.
