Sloar - Vintage Medallion Rug - 4'11 X 8'7

This hand-woven, one-of-a-kind Anatolian heritage rug features a flatwoven construction with a faded patina, abrash detail, and overdyed finish. Boasting a low-pile, no-shed, high-traffic durable surface, it is layering-friendly, underfloor-heating safe, and includes a reversible weave. Its soft-touch, distressed character, ghost-pattern, 70s craftsmanship, cotton-polyester blend, single-piece artisanal quality, and sun-bleached tones define its aesthetic.

About This Style

Vintage rugs are designed to evoke an antique aesthetic, often featuring faded tones, abrash-like colour variation, and worn-look surface treatments. These pieces reference the mid-20th-century Anatolian hand-weaving tradition, where items were produced in small village workshops using regional motifs. Distressed vintage rugs frequently undergo an overdying process, where the original piece is submerged in a saturated colour bath, leaving ghost traces of the underlying pattern visible. The medallion motif, a hallmark of classical design, serves as a central anchor, typically rendered in geometric or stylised forms framed by a distinct border.

Where It Works

The flatwoven construction ensures this rug lies flat against the floor, making it suitable for high-traffic areas such as hallways, entryways, and kitchens. Its thin profile allows for easy layering over larger carpets and ensures compatibility with underfloor heating systems.
