Grekota - Vintage Medallion Rug - 5'10 X 9'2

This turquoise, hand-woven, one-of-a-kind rug celebrates Anatolian heritage through a flatwoven construction, faded patina, and abrash detail. Featuring an 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 captures a distinct mid-century aesthetic.

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 process where the original piece is submerged in a saturated single-colour bath, creating an overdyed finish that leaves ghost traces of the original pattern visible beneath the wash. Medallion rugs feature a dominant central circular, oval, or diamond-shaped motif, which in Turkish tradition is typically rendered in geometric or stylised forms framed by a distinct border.

Where It Works

The flatweave construction allows this rug to lie completely flat, making it suitable for high-traffic areas such as hallways, entryways, and living rooms. Its profile is layering-friendly and safe for use over underfloor heating systems. The durable design is also suited for kitchens and dining areas where a low-maintenance, no-shed surface is required.
