This collection from Louis De Poortere represents the world below the surface, the deep blue of the Abyss using a mix of straight and broken lines, of dull and shining yarns and smooth and ragged pencil strokes.

Over a century of skill and craftsmanship is woven into every rug produced by Louis De Poortere. With cotton chenille and high gloss polyester yarns, this rug has multiple layers of texture.

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
• Shedding is a natural characteristic of wool particularly on new rugs. This will reduce over time and will not affect your rug's performance. Vacuum clean regularly to reduce the shedding.
• 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.
