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 a surface treatment that mimics age and wear, where original patterns are submerged in a saturated colour bath to reveal ghost traces of the design. A medallion motif, typically a central circular or diamond-shaped element, serves as the anchor for these compositions, which are frequently framed by distinct borders reflecting mid-20th-century craftsmanship.

Where It Works

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