Description
Semi plain in design, the Gabbeh rug is as versatile as it is luxurious. Hand woven by Turkoman tribes in the province of Aqchae of Northern Afghanistan and made using 100% hand-spun wool on a cotton warp. This rug is then taken to a region in Pakistan where final bespoke touches are added to ensure the rug is finished to the highest standard. This rug's unique semi-plain pattern is created using 100% natural undyed wool meaning the colours can vary from light to dark naturally making each rug truly unique. In 1sqm of Gabbeh rugs there are around 150000+ knots giving it a mid-density pile. About your new rug We recommend. It prevents your rug from moving underfoot and protects against colour transfer to the floor Natural fibres may shed. This will reduce over time, and shouldn't affect your rug's lifespan or performance When vacuuming your rug, use suction only. Rotating brushes may damage the fibres Blot any spills with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub or use harsh detergents.
Our Stylist Says
This rug is a fantastic choice for adding warmth and texture to a range of interiors, particularly those with a modern or contemporary aesthetic. Its rich blue hue makes it versatile, working well against neutral tones or as a pop of colour in more vibrant schemes. I love how the hand-knotted Gabbeh construction offers a durable and cosy feel underfoot, making it practical for living rooms or bedrooms. Styling tips include layering with complementary textiles, such as linen or wool cushions, and pairing it with sleek furniture to highlight its artisanal charm. It’s quite a statement piece, so keep surrounding accessories minimalist to let the rug truly stand out.

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.
