Why there is only one
Why there is only one
Gol-i Anaari means the pomegranate-red flower in Dari, a language spoken in Maimana, the Afghan town where this runner was woven on our own looms. It took two to four months, in hand-spun wool coloured with root and bark in small batches, so the soft bands of colour, called abrash, are part of the weave. Each runner is woven once, and no other runner has this exact pattern. When it sells, the listing stays up marked Sold. We do not restock it.
Woven in Maimana, Afghanistan. Washed, sun-dried and finished in Pakistan, and shipped to you from there. Wool warp and weft, no pile, about 3 to 5 mm thick.

- Professional clean when needed

In customers' homes
Every rug here was made once. These found their home.
What is a flatweave kilim?
What is a flatweave kilim?
There are no knots at all — the coloured wool weft is woven directly through the cotton warp, packed tight to hide it completely. Flat on both sides, so it's reversible. No two are ever identical.
Where is this rug made?
Where is this rug made?
Direct from our loom in Afghanistan. No agent, no importer, no showroom margin.
How do you offer such low prices?
How do you offer such low prices?
We cut out the layers that inflate rug prices elsewhere — no agent, no importer, no showroom margin. You're buying direct from the loom, the same rug a UK retailer would mark up three or four times before it reached their showroom floor. Label STEP audits confirm that saving isn't coming out of the weaver's wage.
What does Label STEP certified mean?
What does Label STEP certified mean?
Label STEP is an independent Swiss auditor, verifying fair wages, no child labour, and safe working conditions at the loom. Our parent company, Imam Carpets, is one of only two Label STEP certified manufacturers in Pakistan, and Imaco Rugs is itself a listed Label STEP dealer — every rug here is covered loom-to-living-room.
How do I clean a flatweave kilim?
How do I clean a flatweave kilim?
Vacuum on a standard setting — no pile to protect, so the beater bar is fine. Blot spills straight away with a clean cloth, never rub. Being reversible, you can flip it for even wear instead of rotating. For a deep clean, use a specialist handmade-rug cleaner.
What room size does this rug fit?
What room size does this rug fit?
Check the size chart above. As a guide, leave 20–30cm of floor showing around the rug in a living room, or fit it under the front two legs of a sofa.
Is it suitable for high-traffic areas?
Is it suitable for high-traffic areas?
Yes — especially so. The flat, low profile handles doors and heavy furniture without a second thought, and it's reversible, so wear splits across both sides over the years.
Can I see or feel the rug before I buy?
Can I see or feel the rug before I buy?
