Shehuna - Vintage Medallion Rug - 5'3 X 9'1

This hand-woven, one-of-a-kind piece embodies Anatolian heritage through its flatwoven construction, faded patina, and abrash detail. Featuring an overdyed finish, 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, and sun-bleached tones, this rug provides a unique 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 is achieved through decades of use or intentional overdying, a process where the rug is submerged in a saturated bath, leaving ghost traces of the original pattern visible beneath the wash. Medallion motifs, a hallmark of classical Anatolian design, are typically rendered in geometric or stylised forms to anchor the composition.

Where It Works

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

Why Choose This Rug?

• — Features a central medallion motif with a distinct distressed character and subtle ghost-pattern visible through the overdyed beige and brown tones.
• — Composed of a cotton and polyester blend; cotton provides natural breathability, while polyester adds durability and moisture resistance for everyday use.
• — The flatwoven, no-pile construction ensures the rug lies perfectly flat, preventing tripping hazards and resisting shedding.
• — 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.
• — Highly practical for high-traffic environments, with a reversible weave that allows for extended wear and versatile placement.
