Kakiane - Vintage Medallion Rug - 5'7 X 9'7

This beige and brown hand-woven, one-of-a-kind piece embodies 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 offers a sophisticated aesthetic.

About This Style

Vintage rugs are designed to evoke an antique aesthetic, often featuring faded tones, abrash-like colour variation, or worn-look surface treatments. Distressing mimics natural age through selectively faded zones and erased pile, which, when combined with an overdyed finish, reveals a ghost-pattern of the original design. The medallion motif serves as a central anchor, typically rendered in geometric forms and framed by a distinct border, reflecting the mid-20th-century Anatolian weaving tradition.

Where It Works

The flatwoven construction allows this rug to lie perfectly flat, making it ideal for high-traffic areas such as hallways, kitchens, and entryways. Its low-profile design is suitable for placement over larger carpets for layering and remains safe for use with underfloor heating systems.

Why Choose This Rug?

• — Features a prominent central medallion motif set against a neutral beige and brown field, characteristic of mid-century Turkish geometric design.
• — Constructed from a cotton and polyester blend; the cotton provides natural breathability, while the polyester ensures long-term durability and moisture resistance.
• — Utilises a flatwoven construction with no pile, ensuring the rug remains stable underfoot and is resistant to shedding in high-traffic environments.
• — These rugs reference the Anatolian hand-weaving tradition; each piece is one-of-a-kind, with minor variations in colour and pattern that are characteristic of vintage-style production.
• — Engineered for versatility, the rug is compatible with underfloor heating and functions well as a foundational piece for layering or as a standalone runner.
