Price History
Description
Charismatic and pretty, this striking floral monoprint is a relaunch of a wallpaper pattern held in the Laura Ashley archive, from 1996. The Rye design incorporates a trailing floral motif, featuring large flowerheads, leaves and stems. This beautiful handloom jacquard combines three qualities of yarn. The matte wool and cotton quality in the ground are the perfect base for the highlighted floral motive in the bamboo silk pile. This unique bamboo yarn gives this quality rug an element of luxury and lustre. With this a lovely antique look and feel has been created. This rug is loomed by hand, a traditional shuttle process in which material is laced together to create a strong and durable weave. About your new rug We recommend John Lewis & Partners Rug Hold Underlay. It prevents your rug from moving underfoot and protects against colour transfer to the floor As this rug is made using natural fibres, shedding is to be expected. This will reduce over time, and should not have an impact on the lifespan or performance of your rug. When you first get your rug, please use the brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner whilst the shedding dies down. After that, when vacuuming your rug, use suction only. Rotating brushes may damage the fibres. 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. Latex backed therefore not suitable for underfloor heating. Specialist cleaning recommended. Attend to spillages immediately and blot with a clean, dry cloth to prevent staining. Dilute a small amount of appropriate carpet shampoo in water. Dampen a colourfast cloth in the diluted shampoo solution and dab the rug, lightly agitating, moving in the direction of the pile. Treat the whole rug and not just the affected area. To restore the appearance of the affected area, use a soft bristled brush to gently comb in the direction of the pile. Allow the rug to thoroughly dry.
Our Stylist Says
I love this rug for its versatile, understated floral design and neutral tones, making it an easy fit in many interiors. It works particularly well in country or cottage-style schemes, but also adds a soft, relaxed touch to more contemporary settings. For practical styling, consider layering it over a plain painted wood or neutral tiled floor to make it the focal point. Pair it with cosy textiles like linen curtains or a wool sofa for a warm, welcoming look. To maintain its look, opt for a rug pad underneath to prevent slipping and consider regular vacuuming to keep the delicate floral pattern pristine.

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.
