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

This hand-woven, one-of-a-kind piece preserves Anatolian heritage through a flatwoven construction, showcasing a faded patina, abrash detail, and overdyed finish. Featuring a 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 in red and blue.

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 characteristics, such as erased pile areas, often result from decades of use combined with an overdyed finish, which leaves ghost traces of the original pattern beneath a saturated colour wash. Medallion motifs serve as a dominant central anchor, while floral elements incorporate botanical forms like blossoms and vines, reflecting traditional Ottoman design vocabulary.

Where It Works

The flatwoven construction allows this rug to lie flat against the floor, making it suitable for high-traffic areas such as hallways, kitchens, and living rooms. Its profile is compatible with underfloor heating systems and it is ideal for layering over larger carpets.

Why Choose This Rug?

• — Features a central medallion motif complemented by intricate floral patterns and classic red and blue colour tones.
• — Constructed from a cotton and polyester blend; cotton provides breathability, while polyester adds durability and moisture resistance for everyday use.
• — The flatwoven, no-pile design ensures a durable surface that resists shedding and maintains its structure in busy environments.
• — 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 utility allows for placement in high-traffic zones, entryways, or as a base for layering in larger interior settings.
