Shoma - Vintage Floral Rug - 5'6 X 8'8

This green hand-woven, one-of-a-kind piece embodies Anatolian heritage through a flatwoven construction featuring a faded patina and abrash detail. With an overdyed finish, low-pile no-shed profile, high-traffic durable build, layering-friendly design, underfloor-heating safe properties, reversible weave, soft-touch distressed character, ghost-pattern, 70s craftsmanship, cotton-polyester blend, single-piece artisanal quality, and sun-bleached tones, it is a testament to mid-century artistry.

About This Style

Vintage rugs evoke an antique aesthetic, often featuring faded tones, abrash-like colour variation, and worn-look surface treatments that mimic decades of use. Distressing frequently results from overdyeing, a process where a rug is submerged in a saturated colour bath, leaving ghost traces of the original pattern visible beneath the wash. Floral vintage rugs utilise botanical motifs derived from blossoms, leaves, and vines, ranging from dense, scrolled fields to repetitive bouquet patterns that reflect 20th-century regional Anatolian weaving vocabulary.

Where It Works

The flatwoven construction allows this rug to lie perfectly flush against the floor, making it suitable for high-traffic areas such as hallways, kitchens, and dining rooms. Its thin profile is ideal for placement under doors, layering over larger carpets, or use in rooms equipped with underfloor heating systems.

Why Choose This Rug?

• — Features a distinct green palette with floral motifs and a distressed ghost-pattern finish that highlights its 50-70 year old aesthetic.
• — Constructed from a cotton and polyester blend; cotton provides breathability, while polyester adds durability and moisture resistance for everyday use.
• — The flatwoven, no-pile construction ensures the rug lies flat against the floor and is resistant to 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 versatile for high-traffic zones, layering compositions, or spaces requiring underfloor-heating safe flooring solutions.
