Ornate Vintage Persian Medallion Washable Area Rug | Aurelian
Ornate Vintage Persian Medallion Washable Area Rug | Aurelian
Gold Medallion Vintage Washable Area Rug | Aurelian
The Aurelian reinterprets the classic Persian medallion as a fully machine washable area rug, bringing warm amber, gold and cream and intricate, hand-knotted-look detailing to everyday interiors. It carries the warmth and heritage of a traditional carpet while fitting effortlessly into modern, real-world homes — a warm, inviting anchor rather than a fragile antique.
Built for real household use, the Aurelian features an anti-slip backing, fade-resistant polyester construction, and full machine washability. No dry cleaning, no professional care, and no compromise on the warm gold that drew you to it in the first place.
Style & Design
The Aurelian glows in amber and gold, an ornate medallion at its heart that brings a soft, golden-hour warmth to a room. The ornate vintage medallion is balanced and easy to live with, reading as considered from every seat in the room.
Warm gold pairs naturally with cream, caramel, brass, walnut, and terracotta. It sits comfortably in traditional, transitional, and warm-modern interiors, working alongside natural materials, organic textures, and a pared-back palette — or layer it against bolder soft furnishings for more contrast.
Perfect for Every Room
Living room — The Aurelian creates a warm, inviting focal point without competing with your furniture, and is especially effective in traditional, transitional, and warm-modern spaces where the goal is a room that feels considered and intentional.
Bedroom — A 5×7 or 6×9 Aurelian under the bed brings a finished, hotel-quality calm to the bedroom and softens the floor underfoot first thing in the morning.
Dining room — The pattern disguises marks and spills well between washes, and the machine washable construction means dining accidents are never a lasting problem. Works beautifully under a timber or painted dining table.
Home office — The warm gold tones add warmth and a sense of calm focus to a workspace without distraction, helping a home office feel deliberate rather than purely functional.
Nursery & children’s rooms — The gentle warm gold palette makes the Aurelian a soothing choice for a nursery or child’s bedroom. Machine washable and anti-slip — practical and beautiful in equal measure.

Built for Everyday Life
Made from durable, fade-resistant polyester, the Aurelian holds its warm gold through repeated wash cycles and heavy foot traffic. The anti-slip backing keeps the rug firmly positioned on hard floors without adhesive products or separate rug pads. The low-pile construction lays flat under furniture and chair legs, making it safe and practical in dining rooms and offices as well as lounges and bedrooms. Pet and child safe.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the colour stay vibrant after washing?
Yes — the polyester fibres are dyed to resist fading through regular machine washing. Wash cold on a gentle cycle and the warm gold retains its depth and saturation over time.
What decorating styles suit the Aurelian best?
Traditional, transitional, and warm-modern interiors are all natural fits. The ornate vintage medallion pairs beautifully with natural materials, organic textures, and a considered colour palette.
Is an anti-slip rug pad needed?
No — the Aurelian has a built-in anti-slip backing that grips hard floors, tile, and laminate securely. A separate rug pad can be added for extra cushioning if you prefer, but it is not required for stability.
What size should I choose for a queen bedroom?
A 5×7 placed at the foot of the bed with the rug extending under the lower third works well for a standard queen. A 6×9 gives full under-bed coverage with space along both sides — ideal if you have bedside tables and want a fuller floor.
Can this rug be used in a nursery?
Yes — the machine washable, non-slip construction makes the Aurelian a safe, practical choice for nurseries and children’s rooms. Soft underfoot, easy to clean, and built for real family life.
