Tavoane - Vintage Medallion Rug - 5'9 X 9'7

This brown, hand-woven, one-of-a-kind piece embodies Anatolian heritage through a flatwoven construction, faded patina, and distinct abrash detail. Featuring an 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, it offers a sophisticated aesthetic.

About This Style

Vintage rugs evoke an aged aesthetic often featuring faded tones, abrash colour variation, and distressed surface treatments. Medallion rugs are defined by a dominant central motif—typically circular, oval, or diamond-shaped—which anchors the composition and is framed by a structurally distinct border. In vintage Turkish examples, these motifs often appear in stylised geometric forms rather than curvilinear patterns, reflecting mid-20th-century artisanal traditions.

Where It Works

The flatwoven construction allows this rug to lie completely flat, making it suitable for high-traffic hallways, kitchens, and dining areas. It is also layering-friendly for use over larger carpets and is fully compatible with underfloor-heating systems.

Why Choose This Rug?

• — Features a central medallion motif with a distressed, overdyed finish that reveals ghost-pattern traces of the original 70s craftsmanship.
• — Constructed from a cotton and polyester blend, where cotton provides breathability and polyester ensures moisture resistance and long-term durability.
• — Utilises a flatwoven construction and no-pile surface, ensuring the rug lies flat and resists shedding in busy environments.
• — These rugs reference the Anatolian hand-weaving tradition; each piece is one-of-a-kind, with minor variations in colour and pattern that are characteristic of vintage-style production.
• — Highly practical for high-traffic areas due to its durable build and reversible weave, which allows for extended use and even wear.
