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 undergo specific treatments to mimic age, such as erased pile areas that reveal the base structure or overdyeing processes where a saturated colour bath leaves ghost traces of the original pattern. Medallion rugs are defined by a dominant central motif—typically circular, oval, or diamond-shaped—which anchors the composition and is frequently framed by a structurally distinct border in classical Anatolian designs.

Where It Works

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

Why Choose This Rug?

• — Features a prominent central medallion motif rendered in stylised, geometric form consistent with 70s craftsmanship.
• — Constructed from a cotton and polyester blend, offering the breathability of natural fibre with the enhanced durability and moisture resistance of synthetic materials.

• — 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.
• — The reversible weave and low-profile design make this piece highly versatile for layering or installation over underfloor heating systems.
