Description
A beautifully faded Persian medallion in cream, beige, and soft teal — the Via Salaria by Karastan brings vintage character to any room without the fuss.
A rectangular area rug with a cream and warm beige field dominated by a large central Persian-style medallion in layered gray, teal, and rust tones, surrounded by intricate floral scrollwork and geometric fill patterns across the entire surface. The design features a classic multi-line ornate border framing the field, with repeating floral and vine motifs. The overall finish is intentionally distressed and faded — colors appear washed out and antique, as if the rug has been sun-bleached over decades. The pile is low and smooth with a machine-woven surface texture. Edges are cleanly bound with no fringe or tassels. The color palette is predominantly soft cream and beige with secondary gray, and accent dusty teal and burnt rust details distributed throughout the medallion and border.

The cream and beige base is layered with soft gray, dusty teal, and warm rust accents — all woven together in an intricate central medallion design framed by a classic ornate border.

Whether you're anchoring a formal dining room, layering it over a larger natural fiber rug in the living room, or adding warmth to a bedroom, the Via Salaria's muted, earthy palette works with virtually any color scheme. Its neutral tones make it a decorator's dream — easy to style, hard to outgrow.
