Zukusa - Vintage Medallion Rug - 5'7 X 8'11

This hand-woven, one-of-a-kind rug captures the Anatolian heritage through a flatwoven construction, showcasing a faded patina, abrash detail, and 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, ghost-pattern, 70s craftsmanship, cotton-polyester blend, single-piece artisanal quality, and sun-bleached tones.

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. These pieces reference the mid-20th-century Anatolian hand-weaving tradition, where items were produced in small village workshops using regional motifs. Distressed vintage rugs specifically feature a surface treatment that mimics age and wear, often resulting from a process where the original rug is submerged in a saturated single-colour bath to create an overdyed finish that leaves ghost traces of the original pattern. The medallion, a hallmark of classical Anatolian design, serves as the dominant central motif, typically rendered in geometric forms and framed by a distinct border.

Where It Works

The flatwoven construction allows this rug to lie perfectly flat against the floor, making it suitable for high-traffic areas such as hallways, entryways, and kitchens. Its low-profile design is compatible with underfloor heating and is ideal for layering over larger floor coverings.
