Shion - Vintage Medallion Rug - 5'4 X 9'6

This hand-woven, one-of-a-kind Anatolian heritage rug features a flatwoven construction with a faded patina, abrash detail, and overdyed finish. Boasting a low-pile, no-shed, high-traffic durable surface, this layering-friendly and underfloor-heating safe piece 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 evoke an antique aesthetic through faded tones, abrash colour variation, and distressed surface treatments. These pieces often feature a central medallion motif—a hallmark of Anatolian design—rendered in geometric or stylised forms, alongside intricate floral patterns ranging from scrolled fields to botanical repeats. Distressing is frequently achieved through an overdyed process, where a rug is submerged in a saturated colour bath, leaving ghost traces of the original pattern visible beneath the surface.

Where It Works

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

Why Choose This Rug?

• — Features a central medallion motif surrounded by traditional floral detailing, characteristic of 70s-era Anatolian design.
• — Constructed from a cotton and polyester blend; cotton provides natural breathability, while polyester ensures moisture resistance and long-term durability.
• — The flatwoven construction creates a no-shed, low-pile surface that remains stable on the floor and is easy to maintain.
• — 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 functional design suited for high-traffic zones, underfloor heating, and use as a layering piece in any room.
