Description
Hand knotted by skilled artisans in India, this rug is made using sari silk for a beautifully tonal design. 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 how this rug adds a bold splash of colour and texture to a space without feeling overwhelming. The rich, warm tones work particularly well in neutral or pared-back interiors, such as minimalist living rooms or bedrooms where you want a statement piece that still feels sophisticated. It’s versatile enough to sit under a sleek dining table or in a cosy corner, and because it's silk blend, it has a lovely soft feel underfoot. For practical styling, pair it with simple furniture in natural woods or muted tones to let the rug be the focal point, and layer with cushions or throws that pick up on its colours for a cohesive look. This piece is a great investment for adding depth while maintaining a contemporary vibe.

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.
