Temida - Vintage Distressed Rug - 5'6 X 9'1

This hand-woven, one-of-a-kind piece preserves Anatolian heritage through a flatwoven construction, showcasing a faded patina with abrash detail and an overdyed finish. Featuring a low-pile, no-shed, high-traffic durable surface that is layering-friendly and underfloor-heating safe, this reversible weave offers a soft-touch, distressed character with a ghost-pattern, 70s craftsmanship, cotton-polyester blend, single-piece artisanal quality, and sun-bleached tones.

About This Style

Vintage rugs evoke an antique aesthetic, often featuring faded tones, abrash-like colour variation, or worn-look surface treatments rooted in 20th-century Anatolian hand-weaving. Distressed rugs utilise surface treatments to mimic age, such as erased pile areas that reveal the base structure or overdyeing, where a rug is submerged in a saturated colour bath to leave ghost traces of the original pattern. 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.

Where It Works

The flatweave construction allows this rug to lie perfectly flat, making it ideal for high-traffic areas such as hallways, entryways, and kitchens. Its thin profile is well-suited for layering over larger carpets, placement beneath doors, and use in spaces with underfloor heating.
