About This Rug
circa 1960s–1980s · Double Cross Medallion · Distressed Area Rug 4x8
A bold and visually arresting vintage Turkish handknotted area rug with an exceptionally dramatic presence. Two large stepped cross medallions in sage green with navy outline dominate a gloriously faded salmon-terracotta field — the natural abrash creating a watercolour-like depth that no new rug can replicate. The lower field deepens dramatically into a near-black ground punctuated by striking plum-purple corner motifs, while the dark teal border with dense geometric stepped repeat frames the whole composition with graphic power.
- Pattern: Two vertical stepped cross medallions in sage green outlined in navy; scrolling vine tendrils and small rosette fill within each medallion
- Main field: Heavily abrash faded salmon-terracotta — dramatic natural colour shift from warm orange-pink to deep brick across the field
- Lower field: Dark near-black ground with bold plum-purple stepped corner motifs and ivory accent — striking contrast
- Border: Dark navy-teal with dense stepped geometric and arrow repeat in teal, sage and ivory; thin red guard stripe
- Colors: Faded salmon, sage green, dark navy, teal, plum purple, ivory, near-black
- Style: Heavily distressed Anatolian — ideal for boho, wabi-sabi, eclectic and maximalist interiors
- Best for: Living room accent, hallway, bedroom, layering piece, bohemian statement
