Gemiar - Vintage Medallion Rug - 5'5 X 9'3

This hand-woven, one-of-a-kind piece preserves Anatolian heritage through a flatwoven construction, featuring a faded patina with abrash detail and an overdyed finish. It offers a low-pile, no-shed, high-traffic durable, layering-friendly, underfloor-heating safe, and reversible weave with a soft-touch, distressed character, ghost-pattern, 70s craftsmanship, cotton-polyester blend, single-piece artisanal, 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 village workshops using regional motifs. Distressed variants utilise a process where the original rug is submerged in a saturated colour bath, leaving ghost traces of the pattern, while medallion styles feature a dominant central circular or diamond-shaped motif framed by a distinct border.

Where It Works

The flatwoven construction allows this rug to lie completely flat, making it ideal for high-traffic areas such as hallways, kitchens, and entryways. Its thin profile is well-suited for placement over existing flooring or larger rugs, and it remains fully compatible with underfloor heating systems.
