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. Snakeshead is a repeating, traditional design, embellished with viscose details in a wool background. About your new rug We recommend.

Our Stylist Says
I love the Morris & Co. Snakehead rug for its timeless pattern and rich colour palette, which can add warmth and personality to both traditional and contemporary interiors. It works particularly well in eclectic or historic settings where its intricate design can be appreciated up close, but it also offers a striking focal point in modern spaces that favour pattern and texture. For styling tips, consider pairing it with wooden furniture or subdued tones to let the rug stand out, and ensure it’s sized appropriately to define areas like a seating or reception zone. Its durable, classic design makes it versatile, so it’s suitable for living rooms, bedrooms, or even hallways where you want to create a welcoming yet sophisticated vibe.

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.
