Shadira - Vintage Medallion Rug - 5'8 X 8'11

This hand-woven, one-of-a-kind piece celebrates Anatolian heritage through a flatwoven construction, featuring a faded patina, abrash detail, and overdyed finish. With its low-pile, no-shed, high-traffic durable, layering-friendly, underfloor-heating safe, reversible weave, soft-touch, distressed character, ghost-pattern, 70s craftsmanship, cotton-polyester blend, single-piece artisanal, sun-bleached tones, and red colouration, it represents a distinct vintage aesthetic.

About This Style

Vintage rugs are designed to evoke an antique aesthetic, often featuring faded tones, abrash colour variation, and worn-look surface treatments. Distressing, which mimics decades of wear, often occurs through an overdyed process that leaves ghost-pattern traces of the original design visible beneath the saturated colour. The medallion motif serves as a central focal point, typically rendered in geometric or stylised forms that are framed by distinct borders, reflecting a tradition of mid-20th-century craftsmanship.

Where It Works

The flatwoven construction makes this rug suitable for high-traffic areas such as hallways, dining rooms, and kitchens. Its low-profile nature is compatible with underfloor heating and allows for layering over larger carpets or placement under doors.
