This hand-woven, one-of-a-kind Anatolian heritage rug features a flatwoven construction and faded patina. With its 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, it offers a sophisticated aesthetic.

About This Style

Vintage rugs evoke an antique aesthetic through faded tones, abrash colour variation, and worn surface treatments. Distressing often results from decades of use paired with overdyeing, a process where the rug is submerged in a saturated bath, leaving ghost traces of the original pattern. The medallion, a hallmark of classical design, serves as a central motif often rendered in geometric form, framed by a distinct border.

Where It Works

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