Shoan - Vintage Medallion Rug - 5'3 X 9'9

This purple hand-woven, one-of-a-kind piece captures Anatolian heritage through a flatwoven construction, faded patina, abrash detail, and overdyed finish. Featuring a low-pile, no-shed, high-traffic durable surface, it is layering-friendly, underfloor-heating safe, and 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 are designed to evoke an aged aesthetic, often featuring faded tones, abrash-like colour variation, and worn-look surface treatments. Distressed pieces utilise a process where the original rug is submerged in a saturated colour bath, leaving ghost traces of the original pattern visible beneath the wash. The medallion style is defined by a dominant central motif, typically circular, oval, or diamond-shaped, which serves to anchor the composition within a structurally distinct border.

Where It Works

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

Why Choose This Rug?

• — Features a prominent central medallion motif rendered in a deep purple palette with visible ghost-pattern details from the original weave.
• — Constructed from a cotton and polyester blend, where cotton provides natural breathability and polyester offers increased durability and moisture resistance.
• — The flatwoven, no-pile design ensures a stable, trip-resistant surface that remains easy to clean and maintain in busy households.
• — 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 versatile for residential use, this rug functions well in high-traffic zones and is thin enough to allow for seamless layering or placement under low-clearance doors.
