Description
Thick, plush, and classically beautiful — the Cardston's faded Persian medallion design in warm grays and browns brings timeless elegance and cozy comfort to any room.
A rectangular traditional area rug with a large central medallion motif rendered in cream, light gray, and warm brown against a deeper charcoal-gray field. The medallion features intricate floral scrollwork and layered geometric framing, with ornate corner spandrels echoing the central design. A multi-line border frames the entire composition with repeating classical motifs. The overall palette is warm neutral — charcoal gray, taupe, brown, and cream — with a deliberately faded, distressed finish that softens the contrast and gives the rug an antique, time-worn appearance. The surface has a visibly thick, plush pile with a smooth machine-woven texture. Edges are cleanly bound with no fringe or tassels.

The Cardston Area Rug brings timeless traditional style to any room with its striking central medallion design, ornate floral scrollwork, and classic border framing. The color palette leans into warm neutrals — layers of gray, brown, beige, and cream blend together with a beautifully faded, distressed finish that gives it an antique, lived-in feel without looking worn out. At 0.87 inches thick with a high pile construction, this rug is genuinely plush underfoot — customers rave about how soft and cozy it feels, making it a natural choice in front of a fireplace or as a centerpiece in a living room.
Machine woven from a durable blend of 85% polypropylene and 15% polyester, it's built to hold up in busy spaces while maintaining its rich, detailed pattern. The Persian-inspired design works beautifully in traditional, transitional, and even modern-eclectic interiors. Spot clean with mild detergent to keep it looking its best, and pair with a rug pad for added grip and cushioning.
If you want a rug that feels luxurious, looks classic, and holds up to daily life, the Cardston delivers on all three.
Care & Cleaning
Maintaining synthetic fiber rugs involves the following steps:
- Start by blotting out as much of the stain as possible using a dry cotton or white paper towel.
- Use a blunt instrument to scrape off any food or debris gently.
- Create a mixture of a minimal amount of dish soap with a cup of cold water. Employ this mix and a clean sponge to remove the remainder of the stain.
- After cleaning, blot the area with a dry towel to remove any excess moisture.
