Terracotta Relic Medallion Hand Knotted Rug | Distressed Vintage Style

Cover your floor with an extra layer of historic charm with the Terracotta Relic Medallion Hand Knotted Rug. Featuring a finely-woven center medallion that appears to float beautifully and begins to “fade” into its muted Terracotta and aged Olive green field, this stunning rug is the very definition of the “erased” or distressed vintage style. Hand-woven in Jaipur by master artisans, it is made from a fine luxury blend of 100% natural wool and pure silk. The delicate silk highlights on this antique style rug create a dynamic, burnished sheen that catches the light beautifully. Available in custom sizes, this terracotta and olive rug is the perfect grounding element for your traditional sitting room, classic dining hall, or executive library.

Welcome to Jaipur Carpet Studio

We are featuring a true specimen of classic weaving heritage. This floor art piece is for the collectors—people who love the imperfection of aged beauty. Calling its design “Relic,” it celebrates the time-worn appearance of old-world palace rugs, where the elaborate central medallion and surrounding floral scrollwork have been lightly erased or over-dyed. All knots in our rugs are painstakingly hand-tied by master weavers, resulting in a high knot density and fine detail. By taking premium natural wool and blending it with pure silk strands, we have created a distressed vintage style rug that has rich visual depth while providing a dense, plush, velvet-like underfoot texture.

How to Style a Distressed Vintage Style Rug

How do you style a heavily distressed, historical pattern rug? The Terracotta Relic Medallion Hand Knotted Rug is a decorator’s dream base on which to build an antique, industrial, or bohemian-chic vibe suitable for any contemporary or traditional home. Its subdued terracotta and olive tones ground the room without being overwhelming. It looks utterly resplendent when set beneath reclaimed timber coffee tables, antique leather sofas, or teamed with minimal industrial furniture. This over-dyed look offers incredible depth and texture without feeling busy in a space. We also make the perfect custom size antique style rug so you can order a huge statement piece for an open-plan living area or a beautifully elegant runner for your hallway.

Antique Style Rugs Care and Maintenance

Cleaning this luxurious mix of superfine wool and pure silk blend is a simple process, but it requires a mindful approach. We highly encourage vacuuming the rug regularly with suction only. Don’t even think of using a stiff, spinning beater brush; the torturous bristles will pluck and destroy fine silk threads and hand-tied knots in time. If you do spill something, move quickly: blot the area with a clean, dry, undyed cotton cloth immediately. Use no harsh chemical cleaners. If you handle your distressed vintage style rug with care, the colors will stay bright and the gloss of the silk will last for decades.
