About This Nimbaft
Where it comes from
This is a Nimbaft, a Persian weave sitting between a knotted rug and a flatweave, its pile reduced so the pattern reads with unusual clarity. It measures 225 x 175 cm (7'5" x 5'9"). Also written Nimboft or Nim-Baft, the technique is valued for the graphic, drawn-looking design it produces, and for how easily such a rug settles into a room.
What you see
The first impression is architectural: deep wine-red frames step inward one after another, more like a woven picture frame than the usual medallion-and-field layout of a Persian rug. There is no medallion here. At the centre sit eight narrow vertical panels, alternating green, brick red, cornflower blue and mustard gold, each edged in that same dark wine. Around this striped window run borders carrying small, repeating tribal figures - trees, animal-like forms - worked in cream against the wine ground.
How it was made
The rug is hand-knotted, wool on a cotton warp, at a density of 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre - solid, unhurried work rather than a showpiece number. What sets a Nimbaft apart is the pile itself, clipped low and even at 8 mm, so the surface sits flatter and tighter than a conventional pile carpet, closer to a woven textile. That restraint is what lets the striped panel and nested frames read so cleanly, each colour band holding its edge.
At home
This is a rug for a living room, laid under a seating group where the stripes can be taken in as a whole rather than crossed underfoot. The cream ground lifts a dark floor, while the wine-red frames hold their own against solid furniture. Underfoot it is firm and flat, the hand-spun wool giving a faint, honest texture well suited to daily use. Morning light along the stripes is what you keep noticing.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 225 × 175 cm (3.94 m²) this is a medium rug. It works in front of a sofa, in front of a bed or in a study. It is too small for a dining table — there you want about 80 cm of clearance so a chair does not tip over the edge when pushed back.
Is this rug hand-knotted?
Yes, knotted by hand — knot by knot on a loom, not machine-made. The density is 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre; across 3.94 m² that is roughly 790,000 to 980,000 individual knots, every one of them tied by hand.
How do I care for this rug?
Hand-spun wool still carries its own lanolin, which keeps liquid sitting on the surface for a moment: blot quickly, with clear water and a light cloth, working inwards and without rubbing. Otherwise regular vacuuming along the pile is enough. Turn the rug once or twice a year so light and footfall reach it evenly.
