Semean - Vintage Medallion Rug - 5'5 X 8'7

This hand-woven, one-of-a-kind piece preserves Anatolian heritage through a flatwoven construction, featuring a faded patina, abrash detail, and overdyed finish. With 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-like colour variation, and worn-look surface treatments. These pieces reference the broader tradition of mid-20th-century Anatolian hand-weaving, where items were produced in small village workshops using regional motifs. Distressed vintage rugs may exhibit selectively faded zones or erased pile areas, often resulting from an overdyed finish that leaves ghost traces of the original pattern visible beneath the wash. The medallion, a hallmark of classical design, is typically rendered here in a geometric or stylised form, anchored by a structurally distinct border.

Where It Works

The flatwoven construction allows this rug to lie perfectly flat, making it suitable for high-traffic areas such as hallways, living rooms, and kitchens. Its minimal profile is ideal for layering over larger carpets and is fully compatible with underfloor heating systems.
