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 John Lewis & Partners Rug Hold Underlay.

Our Stylist Says
I love this navy hand knotted Gabbeh rug for bringing a sophisticated and relaxed feel to a space. Its deep, muted tone works well in both contemporary and traditional interiors, providing a versatile foundation that pairs effortlessly with neutral palettes or bold colour accents. The handcrafted nature of this piece adds texture and visual interest, making it perfect for living rooms or bedrooms wanting a cosy, grounded vibe. For styling tips, consider layering with other textiles like cushions or throws in natural fibres, and keep furniture low-profile to showcase the rug. It also holds up well in high-traffic areas, making it a practical yet stylish choice.

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.
