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, sun-bleached tones offer a unique aesthetic.

About This Style

Vintage rugs are designed to evoke an antique aesthetic, often featuring faded tones, abrash-like colour variation, or worn-look surface treatments. Distressed rugs utilise surface treatments that mimic age, such as selectively faded zones or erased pile that reveals the base structure, often achieved through an overdyed process that leaves ghost traces of the original pattern. Medallion rugs feature a dominant central circular, oval, or diamond-shaped motif, which, in Anatolian traditions, is typically rendered in geometric forms and framed by a distinct border.

Where It Works

The flatwoven construction allows this rug to lie completely flat, making it suitable for high-traffic areas such as hallways, kitchens, and dining rooms. It is compatible with underfloor heating systems and serves as a practical choice for layering over larger carpets or rugs.

Why Choose This Rug?
