C John Rare Rugs

For over 80 years, C. John has been a leading authority in the world of fine carpets, rugs, and tapestries. Our journey began in 1933, when John Cohen opened our first gallery in Oxford, with a simple yet ambitious goal: to represent the most refined qualities of art and living around the world. Eight decades later, we remain committed to upholding this same standard of excellence, carefully curating an eclectic collection of rare and collectable pieces that showcase the finest craftsmanship, quality, design, history, heritage, and durability.

Our Heritage: A Legacy of Trust and Excellence

C. John has been a member of the British Antique Dealers Association since the early 1960s, and we have consistently demonstrated a commitment to upholding the highest standards of ethics and integrity. We have also recently joined CINOA, which showcases our collection in their online galleries. In recognition of our exceptional service and expertise, we were granted the Royal Warrant as supplier of carpets to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in 1966, a distinction that we proudly retain to this day.
