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. Distressed rugs utilise surface treatments that mimic age, such as erased pile areas that reveal the base structure, often resulting from overdyeing processes where a saturated colour bath leaves ghost traces of the original pattern. Medallion motifs serve as a hallmark of classical design, typically presenting a central circular, oval, or diamond-shaped composition framed by a distinct border, often rendered in geometric forms within the Turkish tradition.

Where It Works

The flatwoven construction allows this rug to lie perfectly flat, making it suitable for high-traffic areas such as hallways, kitchens, and dining rooms. Its thin profile is ideal for layering over larger rugs or placing in spaces with underfloor heating.
