This handknotted and also handwoven Nimbaft is a perfect example of the skills and the combination of two very different manufacturing processes of Oriental Carpets.


Pakistani rug

A large part of Pakistan’s rug production takes place in and around the cities of Lahore and Karachi. Many of the rug weavers from that time fled to Pakistan during the war with India and settled there. Today, hand-knotted Pakistan Bokhara rugs are particularly well known. Similar to Afghan oriental rugs, Pakistani rugs also feature dark colour tones and are usually dominated by shades of red. The well-known elephant’s foot pattern (a repeating octagonal motif) can also be found on a Pakistani rug.

Hand-spun wool

This rug is made from hand-spun sheep’s wool of the highest quality. Wool is still spun by hand, especially in Iran (formerly Persia), Afghanistan and Pakistan, before the actual knotting of the rug begins. Over the centuries, wool has proven itself to be a natural and extremely hard-wearing material. Among other things, it has dirt-repellent and heat-insulating properties. At the same time, wool is incomparably soft and has a natural sheen.

Handwoven

This rug has been handwoven on a loom as a flatweave. Flatweave refers to rugs that have no pile. As the name suggests, these rugs are woven rather than knotted. This results in a flat rug with a textured surface. Flatweaves are not as soft and are usually thinner than knotted rugs. At the same time, they are significantly less complex to produce and can usually be used on both sides (front and back). Their patterns are generally geometric, which is due to the weaving technique.

Care & Fair

Following our ethical principles, we at Nain Trading are declared supporters of the organization CARE & FAIR. The goal is joint action by carpet dealers worldwide to give children from carpet weaver families in India and Pakistan the foundation for socially protected growing up. This improves the situation for the whole family in the long term. A child-friendly childhood for a life worth living - that is the mission.
