Sloen - Vintage Medallion Rug - 5'7 X 9'6

This beige, hand-woven, one-of-a-kind piece celebrates Anatolian heritage through a flatwoven construction featuring a faded patina, abrash detail, and overdyed finish. With its 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 captures a 50-70 year old 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. These pieces reference the tradition of mid-20th-century Anatolian hand-weaving, where items were produced in small village workshops using regional motifs. Distressed vintage rugs frequently undergo an overdyed process, where a rug is submerged in a saturated colour bath, leaving ghost traces of the original pattern visible beneath the wash. Medallion-style rugs feature a dominant central motif, typically circular, oval, or diamond-shaped, which serves to anchor the composition and is often framed by a structurally distinct border.

Where It Works

The flatwoven construction of this rug ensures it lies flat, making it practical for high-traffic areas such as hallways, kitchens, and dining rooms. Its low-pile profile is layering-friendly and safe for use over underfloor heating systems.
