Vovoil - Vintage Medallion Rug - 5'3 X 9'1

This hand-woven, one-of-a-kind piece preserves Anatolian heritage through a flatwoven construction featuring a faded patina, abrash detail, and overdyed finish. Its low-pile, no-shed, high-traffic durable surface is layering-friendly and underfloor-heating safe. With a reversible weave, soft-touch distressed character, ghost-pattern, 70s craftsmanship, cotton-polyester blend, single-piece artisanal quality, and sun-bleached tones, it represents authentic purple vintage design.

About This Style

Vintage rugs are designed to evoke an aged aesthetic, often featuring faded tones, abrash-like colour variation, or worn-look surface treatments. These pieces reference the mid-20th-century Anatolian hand-weaving tradition, where textiles were produced in small village workshops using regional motifs. Distressing frequently results from a combination of decades of use and an overdyed finish, a process where the original rug is submerged in a saturated colour bath, leaving ghost traces of the underlying pattern visible. The medallion motif, a hallmark of classical design, is typically rendered here in a stylised, geometric form framed by a distinct border.

Where It Works

The flatwoven construction allows this rug to lie flat against the floor, making it highly suitable for high-traffic areas such as hallways, kitchens, and living zones. Its profile is ideal for underfloor heating and layering over larger carpets. The durable nature of the weave ensures stability in high-use environments.
