Shova - Vintage Medallion Rug - 5'4 X 8'3

This hand-woven, one-of-a-kind piece embodies Anatolian heritage through a flatwoven construction featuring a faded patina, abrash detail, and overdyed finish. With a low-pile, no-shed, high-traffic durable profile, it is layering-friendly and underfloor-heating safe, offering 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 antique aesthetic, often featuring faded tones, abrash-like colour variation, and distressed surface treatments. These pieces reference the tradition of mid-20th-century Anatolian hand-weaving, where small village workshops produced regional motifs using natural dyes. Distressing, achieved through intentional wear or overdying, often reveals a ghost-pattern of the original weave beneath the surface. Medallion-style vintage rugs are defined by a central circular, oval, or diamond-shaped motif, which serves as the anchor for the rug's geometric or stylised composition.

Where It Works

The flatwoven construction of this rug ensures it lies completely flush against the floor, making it suitable for high-traffic areas such as hallways, entryways, and kitchens. It is also compatible with underfloor heating systems and serves as an effective base for layering in larger living spaces.
