About

Joshua Lumley Ltd was established in 2004 after Joshua had spent a decade in London auction houses, latterly as Sotheby’s Head of Department. Establishing his own business allowed him to focus on the types of rugs he loves the most, and to see the whole process through, from sourcing to restoration, to placing it in the right interior in a client’s house. Joshua continues to be excited by finding the perfect rug for a particular project and by the evolution of design, colour and style in interiors. He also has a keen interest in European tapestries, and is a regular exhibitor at The Decorative Fair, held three times a year in Battersea Park.
