Description
Tradition is at the heart of this pure wool rug from Gooch Luxury. This rug has been knotted by hand, the oldest and most individual way a rug can be made. This involves an intricate process of weaving by hand on a loom where yarns are tied one at a time, giving the rug a durable construction.

Our Stylist Says
I love this rug for its versatile colour and pattern, making it a great statement piece that can anchor a room. It works particularly well in bohemian, eclectic, or traditional interiors, adding warmth and texture. The blue palette is calming and pairs beautifully with neutral sofas or wooden furniture, while adding a touch of colour to more subdued schemes. Practical styling tips include placing it under a coffee table in a living room to define the seating area or using it as a focal point in a bedroom alongside layered textiles. Its size makes it flexible for medium-sized spaces, and it's easy to update a room’s look simply by changing surrounding decor to complement or contrast its hues.

About John Lewis
A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
