Nimbaft kilim rugs – Timeless reminders of a bygone craft
Nimbaft kilim rugs are rare, handcrafted masterpieces that combine Soumak weaving with Persian knotting. Made from natural materials using traditional methods, they hold both cultural and collectable value.
Authentic, rare Nimbaft kilim rugs represent a distinctive chapter in the tradition of oriental craftsmanship. These textiles are made in Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan using the same natural wool, plant-based dyes and artisanal techniques that have been passed down for centuries. Their uniqueness lies in the combination of Soumak weaving and hand knotting—a dual technique that has now become an almost forgotten craft.
Nimbaft rugs are especially valuable because they unite the world of Persian knotted rugs with the structure of woven kilims in a truly distinctive way. Their golden ground resembles a calm surface of water, with the patterns appearing to float above it. This composition is not only visually striking but also holds significant historical value.
These rugs are generally smaller in size, while larger examples—such as 2 × 3 metres or 2.5 × 3.5 metres—are particularly rare. It is no surprise that many collectors regard them as the jewels of their collections. Thanks to our experienced specialists, such pieces can often be found in our selection.
To experience what it means to bring a timeless, handcrafted masterpiece into your home, explore our Nimbaft collection—where the craftsmanship of the past meets the style of the present.
