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

This pink medallion rug is a hand-woven, one-of-a-kind Anatolian heritage piece featuring a flatwoven construction with a faded patina, abrash detail, and overdyed finish. It offers a low-pile, no-shed, high-traffic durable surface that is layering-friendly, underfloor-heating safe, and reversible weave, providing a soft-touch, distressed character, ghost-pattern, 70s craftsmanship, cotton-polyester blend, single-piece artisanal finish with sun-bleached tones.

About This Style

Vintage rugs are designed to evoke an antique or aged aesthetic, often featuring faded tones, abrash-like colour variation, or worn-look surface treatments. These pieces reference the mid-20th-century Anatolian hand-weaving tradition, where textiles were produced in small village workshops using regional motifs. Distressed vintage rugs typically undergo an overdyed 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 acts as a dominant central motif—circular, oval, or diamond-shaped—which anchors the composition and is a hallmark of classical design.

Where It Works

The flatwoven construction allows this rug to lie flat against the floor, making it highly suitable for high-traffic areas such as hallways, entryways, and kitchens. Its thin profile is ideal for layering over larger rugs to create depth, and the material composition is fully compatible with underfloor heating systems.

Why Choose This Rug?

• — Features a prominent central medallion motif rendered in a classic Anatolian style with a distressed, overdyed pink finish.
• — Constructed from a cotton and polyester blend, where cotton provides breathability and polyester adds durability and moisture resistance for everyday use.
• — The flatwoven construction results in a no-pile surface that is resistant to shedding and easy to maintain.
• — 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.
• — Versatile design that functions well in high-traffic corridors, as a base for layering, or in spaces equipped with underfloor heating.
