Sipeyn - Vintage Medallion Rug - 5'2 X 8'8

This purple hand-woven, one-of-a-kind piece embodies Anatolian heritage through its flatwoven construction, faded patina, and abrash detail. Featuring an overdyed finish, low-pile, no-shed, high-traffic durable, layering-friendly, underfloor-heating safe, reversible weave, soft-touch, distressed character, ghost-pattern, 70s craftsmanship, cotton-polyester blend, single-piece artisanal, and sun-bleached tones, it offers a sophisticated vintage aesthetic.

About This Style

Vintage rugs are designed to evoke an antique aesthetic, often featuring faded tones, abrash colour variation, and worn-look surface treatments. Distressed vintage rugs frequently undergo an overdyeing process, where the original piece is submerged in a saturated colour bath, leaving ghost traces of the original pattern visible beneath the wash. Medallion rugs feature a dominant central motif—typically circular, oval, or diamond-shaped—which serves as the anchor for the composition, framed by a structurally distinct border.

Where It Works

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

Why Choose This Rug?
