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. Distressed rugs utilise specific surface treatments to mimic age, including selectively faded zones or erased pile that reveals the rug's base structure. In many cases, this is achieved through overdyeing, where the rug is submerged in a saturated colour bath, leaving ghost traces of the original pattern visible beneath the wash.

Where It Works

The flatwoven construction allows this rug to lie perfectly flat, making it highly functional for high-traffic areas such as hallways, entryways, and kitchens. It is compatible with underfloor heating systems and serves as an ideal base for layering over larger carpets.
