About This Style

Vintage rugs are designed to evoke an antique aesthetic, often featuring faded tones, abrash colour variation, or worn-look surface treatments. Distressed rugs exhibit a surface treatment that mimics decades of use, where overdyeing creates a ghost-pattern effect, revealing traces of the original design beneath a single-colour wash. Medallion rugs are defined by a central circular, oval, or diamond-shaped motif, which serves as the anchor for the overall composition and is typically framed by a structurally distinct border.

Where It Works

The flatwoven construction makes this rug suitable for high-traffic areas such as hallways, living rooms, and kitchens. It is compatible with underfloor heating systems and serves as a practical option for layering over larger rugs.
