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

This turquoise, hand-woven, one-of-a-kind piece embodies Anatolian heritage through a flatwoven construction, faded patina, abrash detail, overdyed finish, 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.

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. Distressing often results from decades of use combined with overdyeing, a process where a rug is submerged in a single-colour bath, leaving ghost traces of the original pattern visible. The medallion is a dominant central motif, typically rendered in geometric or stylised form and framed by a structurally distinct border, serving as a hallmark of classical Anatolian and Persian carpet design.

Where It Works

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