One of a kind


A Maimana kilim begins without a drawing. Its geometric pattern is woven from memory by women in northern Afghanistan, then altered instinctively as the work grows. Made from Ghazni wool in a reversible flatweave, every rug carries the decisions of its individual weaver.

About This Rug

Flatwoven by Hand in Afghanistan

A Maimana kilim begins without a drawing. Women in northern Afghanistan weave the patterns from memory, using forms passed from mother to daughter. Each weaver changes the spacing, scale and colour as she works, so no two kilims follow exactly the same pattern.

The rug is handwoven from Ghazni wool using a flatweave construction with no raised pile. It is relatively light, hard-wearing and fully reversible, allowing either side to be used.

The bold geometry gives a Maimana kilim a strong presence, while the flat surface makes it easy to place beneath furniture, layer over a larger rug or use in a busy part of the home.

Made to Be Lived On

Why a Najaf Rug

Entirely Handmade

Knotted or woven by hand, using techniques passed down through generations.

Natural Fibres

Made entirely from natural fibres, never synthetics, so it wears beautifully for decades.

One of a Kind

A singular piece that will never be made exactly again.

True to Life

Photographed in natural light with minimal editing, so the rug that arrives is the rug you chose.

Good to Know

Will the rug look the same in person as it does online?

We photograph every rug in natural light with minimal editing, so the colours you see are as true to life as possible. It’s something we take a lot of care with, and something our customers often comment on.

That said, colours can shift slightly depending on your screen or the lighting in your home. If you’d like extra photos or a video before purchasing, we’re always happy to help.

How long does delivery usually take?

Delivery times depend on your location.

For most Australian orders, delivery is quite quick. NSW and VIC typically arrive within 1–2 business days, the ACT within 2–3 business days, QLD and TAS within 2–4 business days, and WA and the NT within 3–6 business days.

Most international deliveries arrive within 1–4 weeks.

You can find more detailed timeframes on our Shipping & Delivery page: Shipping & Delivery.

What if the rug isn't quite right?

We want you to feel completely confident in your purchase. If something doesn’t feel right once you’ve seen it in your space, we’re here to help.

We accept returns or exchanges on full-priced items, meaning pieces that are not part of our clearance collection.

Returns must be initiated within 7 days of receiving your order, or within 7 days of purchase if bought in person.

As each rug is handmade and one of a kind, we keep this window short so that any returned piece can be offered again in the same condition.

Rugs must be returned in the same condition they were received.

For full details, please see our Returns & Exchanges page: Returns & Exchanges.

Can I see this rug in person before I decide?

Of course. We're at our Rowville warehouse most days and you're welcome to come in and browse.

Give us a call before you head over and we'll have this rug, and anything else you'd like to compare, laid out and ready for you.

Do I need an underlay?

We recommend one under every rug and kilim. A good underlay stops the rug moving, protects your floors and helps the rug wear evenly for longer.

Ask us and we'll suggest the right one for your floor and rug size.

How do I look after it?

Handmade wool rugs are easy to live with. Vacuum weekly on a low setting, moving with the pile and without the beater bar, and never vacuum the fringes. Rotate the rug every few months so it wears evenly, and blot spills straight away rather than rubbing.

Our Rug Care guide covers the rest.
