Retasa - Vintage Medallion Rug - 5'10 X 9'4

This hand-woven, one-of-a-kind piece embodies 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 profile, this layering-friendly and underfloor-heating safe rug 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 colour variation, and distressed surface treatments. These pieces frequently incorporate medallion motifs—a dominant central circular or diamond shape—and floral elements derived from botanical forms, reflecting the mid-20th-century Anatolian tradition. Overdyeing processes further define this style, creating a ghost-pattern effect where original motifs remain visible beneath a saturated colour wash.

Where It Works

Due to its flatwoven construction, this rug is suited to high-traffic areas such as hallways, entryways, and kitchens. Its low-profile design is ideal for layering over larger rugs or placing in spaces with underfloor heating.

Why Choose This Rug?

• — Features a central medallion motif complemented by intricate floral elements and sun-bleached tones.
