C. John (Rare Rugs) Ltd

C John (Rare Rugs) Ltd is a Dealer in the finest decorative, antique rugs, carpets and tapestries dating from the 17th century to the present time. Our selection of fine and rare weavings can be seen on our website or at our gallery in Mayfair. To become part of the C. John collection, a carpet goes through a rigorous selection process based on craftsmanship, quality, design, history, heritage and durability. While most of our pieces will endure to be passed on to the next generation, their beauty ensures that they will always bring an exquisite elegance to any modern, contemporary or traditional residence. At the heart of C. John is the most important element behind any purchase: an honest and knowledgeable seller. Leon Sassoon is what gives C. John the reputation that it deserves. When you live with a C. John piece, you become part of the story. A story with a rich history, starting in the east and continuing in your home. It’s a story of inspiration, hard work and craftsmanship learned over many painstaking years and combined with an overwhelming belief in creativity and beauty. When you bring one of our pieces into your home, that history will live with you and your family. The story will begin a new chapter. Services Provided C. John also offers expert hand-cleaning, restoration and conservation services. At C. John, we provide the highest level of all of the necessary maintenance needs for your new, as well as old, purchase. Care is an art, and C. John is an expert at providing the most precious and personal care that one could ask for. Many of our pieces are investments, and a properly looked-after piece will retain, or increase, its value. We offer an exceptional hand-cleaning and restoration service carried out in our workshop by our highly-skilled craftsmen. In addition, new carpet underlay needs to be continuously changed so that your C. John piece presents itself nicely on the surface. Areas Served Worldwide C. John has been a member of the British Antique Dealers Association since the early 1960’s. More recently, we have joined CINOA which also showcases our collection in their On-Line galleries.
