Price History
Description
William Morris (1834-1896), artist, philosopher and political theorist, was one of the most outstanding and influential designers of the Arts & Crafts Movement. His legacy continues today with Morris & Co., curating beautifully crafted fabrics, wallpapers and home accessories inspired by his original designs. The Morris & Co. range of hand-tufted rugs translates some of Morris’ most renowned and iconic designs; these timeless rugs are offered in his distinctive and unique colour palette and will add a touch of heritage to any home. Acanthus is a repeating, traditional design, embellished with viscose details in a wool background. About your new rug We recommend.

Our Stylist Says
The Morris & Co. Acanthus Rug is a versatile piece that adds a touch of timeless elegance to any space. I love its intricate botanical design combined with muted tones, making it ideal for both traditional and contemporary interiors. It works particularly well in living rooms or bedrooms where a patterned rug can serve as a focal point without overwhelming the space. For practical styling, consider pairing it with neutral or complementary colours to let the pattern shine, and layer with soft furnishings in natural fabrics for a cohesive look. It’s a great choice for adding texture and interest, especially in spaces where a classic but understated statement is desired.

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.
