Shama - Vintage Medallion Rug - 5'8 X 8'10

This hand-woven, one-of-a-kind Anatolian heritage rug features a flatwoven construction and faded patina with distinct abrash detail. Its overdyed finish, low-pile no-shed profile, high-traffic durable build, layering-friendly design, underfloor-heating safe reversible weave, soft-touch distressed character, ghost-pattern 70s craftsmanship, cotton-polyester blend, single-piece artisanal quality, and sun-bleached tones define its vintage aesthetic.

About This Style

Vintage rugs are designed to evoke an antique aesthetic through the use of faded tones, abrash-like colour variation, and worn-look surface treatments. These pieces often reference the mid-20th-century Anatolian hand-weaving tradition, where items were produced in small village workshops using regional motifs. Distressed elements, such as ghost-patterns, result from decades of use paired with overdying processes, while medallion and floral compositions serve as hallmarks of classical carpet design.

Where It Works

The flatweave construction allows this piece to lie flush against the floor, making it suitable for high-traffic areas such as hallways, entryways, and kitchens. Its low-profile build is also ideal for layering over larger rugs or placing in environments with underfloor heating.
