Product Insights
The Simons Maison Antique Medallion Rug is a 128 CAD, in-stock low-pile polypropylene rug whose oversized central medallion reproduces the Ardabil carpet format woven in Persia in the 1530s, symmetric on both axes so it reads the same whichever way it is laid and works under a coffee or dining table where the medallion stays visible; the washed-out beige and blue is a deliberate antique-wear finish rather than a defect, with faded low-contrast tones that keep the pattern quiet until seen up close, and 8 reviews describe it as subtle, elegant, velvety-soft underfoot and exactly as pictured. Its core promise is careless-liquid resilience with period looks: 100% polypropylene makes water-based spills bead up and wipe away without staining, a missed spill still lifts, and spot cleaning with mild detergent or hosing it down outside air-dries fast — but oil-based soil clings and needs blotting while fresh, and stain resistance does not stop mechanical wear, since the pile can fuzz or pill in high-friction spots like chair legs rather than at spills. The tradeoffs follow from the trim and the sizing: there is no non-slip backing, so on hard floors a rug pad is required and adds to the delivered cost, and because the thin fringed edging is a separate stitched-on cosmetic strip, a pad must be cut slightly smaller than the rug to keep the fringe flat beyond its edge, a snag or stripped edge will not unravel the rug, machine washing is ruled out for distorting backing and fringes, and a robot vacuum climbs the low pile easily though the fringe can tangle its brush. The oversized medallion nearly fills the 160 x 200 cm field but reads as a framed centerpiece with more open ground at 200 x 300 cm, which costs 50 CAD more (178 vs 128) for nearly double the coverage; Blue is the only colourway at 200 x 300 cm, while Ivory/Cream Beige and Assorted cap at 160 x 200 cm, and Assorted is sized and priced like the named colours yet has no specified colourway, with all four size-and-colour combinations in stock at their listed prices.
Verified claims
- Design heritage
- The central medallion reproduces the Ardabil carpet format woven in Persia in the 1530s.
- Placement
- Sits under a central coffee or dining table, where the symmetric medallion stays visible.
- Medallion scale
- The oversized medallion nearly fills the 160 x 200 cm size; the 200 x 300 cm leaves more open ground.
- Design aesthetic
- Buyers describe the pattern as subtle and elegant, and the rug arrives exactly as pictured.
- Fringed edging
- The thin fringed edging is an applied period-style trim, not the structural fringe of a hand-knotted rug.
- Rug pad
- Use a pad cut slightly smaller than the rug so the thin fringe stays flat beyond its edge.
- Robot vacuum
- The low pile lets a robot vacuum climb on easily, but the thin fringe can tangle the brush.
- Distressed finish
- The washed-out beige and blue is a deliberate antique-wear finish, not a defect or signs of use
- Pattern scale
- The giant medallion fills the 160X200CM field but reads as a framed centerpiece on 200X300CM.
- Visual weight
- Faded low-contrast tones keep the medallion quiet until seen up close.
- Pattern orientation
- Symmetric on both axes, so the rug reads the same whichever way it is laid.
- Size and colorway
- Blue is the only colourway in 200X300CM; Ivory/Cream Beige and Assorted cap at 160X200CM.
- Design lineage
- The medallion format traces back to 1530s Ardabil carpets and Safavid-era Persian design.
- Size value
- Stepping to 200X300CM costs 50 CAD more (178 vs 128) for nearly double the coverage.
- Resistance
- 100% polypropylene: water-based spills bead up and wipe away without staining; a missed spill still lifts.
- Cleaning
- Spot clean with mild detergent and water, or hose it down outside; the pile air-dries fast.
- Oil spills
- Water-based spills wipe away, but oil-based soil clings and needs blotting while fresh.
- Wear limit
- Stain resistance does not stop mechanical wear; the pile can fuzz or pill in high-friction spots.
- Stain & care
- Water-based spills do not set, bead, and wipe away without staining; oil-based soils are the one spill that clings and needs blotting while fresh.
- Fringe care
- The stitched-on fringe is cosmetic trim: cut the pad slightly short so it lies flat.
- Stock
- All four size-and-colour combinations are in stock at their listed prices
- Cost of ownership
- No non-slip backing: a rug pad is recommended and adds to the delivered cost.
- Machine washing
- Not machine washable — machine washing can distort the backing and the fringes.
- Non-slip backing
- No non-slip backing; on hard floors a pad is required to stop sliding.
- Fringe durability
- The fringe is applied trim: a snag or stripped edge won't unravel the rug.
- Softness
- The recommended rug pad adds cushioning underfoot to the low pile.
- Comfort
- Buyers describe the rug as velvety-soft and pleasant on bare feet.
- Fringe wear
- The fringe is a separate stitched-on strip, so it can wear or snag without unravelling the rug.
- Assorted colourway
- Assorted is sized and priced like the named colours but has no specified colourway.
- Colour accuracy
- Buyers report the rug arrives matching the photos, faded beige and blue included.
- Friction wear
- Polypropylene fuzzes and pills in high-friction spots, so the rug wears under chair legs, not at spills.
- Size and colour options
- At 160 x 200 cm, Ivory/Cream Beige, Blue, and Assorted all cost 128 CAD; 200 x 300 cm is offered only in Blue at 178 CAD, a 50 CAD step for nearly double the coverage.
- Value shelf
- This is an easy-care vintage-medallion low-pile fringed polypropylene area rug; the 160 x 200 cm size is 128 CAD, putting it under CA$130.
- Pile height
- The listing does not publish a pile height, but comparable Simons Maison polypropylene medallion rugs measure around 0.4 in (1 cm), so expect a flat, low-profile pile that sits easily under furniture and doors.

Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Antique Medallion Rug See Available Sizes: Choose this if you want a vintage-inspired area rug with a giant central medallion, distressed faded-pigment finish, and soft blue and gold accents that reviewers say add elegance without overwhelming the room. It is made of easy-care, durable 100% polypropylene with a low pile, and reviewers describe the velvety texture as pleasant on bare feet; note the design includes thin fringes on the edges and a rug pad is recommended for greater safety. It comes in 160 x 200 cm and 200 x 300 cm sizes, in Ivory/Cream Beige, Blue, and Assorted colorways.[1,2] | Distressed Medallions Blue Rug See Available Sizes: Choose this if you want a rectangular area rug with an intentionally distressed medallion and floral pattern, faded blue field with cream accents, and a warm burgundy multi-band border in the listed Patterned Blue color at 160 by 230 centimeters. Its low-pile polyester face is machine washable and water repellent, which suits busy spots where easy care matters. Note that the merchant recommends using a rug pad underneath for greater safety, and the look is a flat, printed-style finish rather than plush.[3,4,5,6] | Vibrant Medallion Rug: Choose this if you want a traditional, Persian-inspired look: the retailer describes a rich, detailed multicoloured medallion design with a centered diamond medallion, layered borders, and accents in navy, olive, rust, and cream. It works well for busy areas thanks to its easy-care, stain- and dulling-resistant heat-set polypropylene, low pile, and safety on heated floors, with short fringes at the narrow ends. It comes in two rectangular sizes (160x240 cm and 240x310 cm) in one Assorted color, so it suits rooms needing a machine-woven traditional rug rather than a plush, high-pile feel.[7,8] |

Très bon rapport qualité-prix
En tant que fidèle de la maison Simons, je n'en suis pas à mon premier achat de tapis et sûrement pas à mon dernier non plus, car celui-ci correspond encore parfaitement à mes attentes, texture très 'douce/veloutée', motifs affirmés mais avec subtilité, ce qui en fait un tapis 'qui ne saute pas aux yeux' mais qui contribue à bien rehausser l'atmosphère de la pièce. Alors conquis !
