"Senneh Carpet, Ancient Persian, 144 X 214 Cm, Hand-knotted Wool, Iranian Kurdistan, Very Good Condition"
This well-preserved rug from the first part of the 20th century has a beautiful velvet, the short kilim-style fringes are in ecru cotton.
Originally from Iranian Kurdistan, from the city of Siné, today Sanandaj.
Called Senneh, these rugs are extremely fine, far from other Kurdistan rugs and current production.
The silky midnight blue field has a triple medallion justaposed covered with a very regular pattern of flowers which would represent stylized tulips.
A floral decoration alternates with hexagons in the main border, surrounded by small floral bands as well.
This type of rug gives off a perfect harmony, the wool used is soft, silky and shiny, of high quality, this piece has always been wonderfully well maintained which has allowed the velvet to remain in good condition.
The production of Senneh bears a lot of resemblance to the carpets of Bidjar or other nomadic regions.
It is recognized for its quality and its resistance, the knotting is much finer and the designs more refined.
The fame of the Sennehs is due to the quality of its antique rugs made by order of merchants and to the taste of customers.
The use of a cotton weft thread instead of a woolen weft, a shorter shave to obtain a cleaner design (therefore an excellent quality wool), and a density varying between 420,000 to 750,000 knots at square meter are the main features of Senneh rugs.
Senneh's kilims are as renowned as its knotted rugs. (see our gallery) Today, since the 90s, the quality of Senneh like most of the production, has decreased a lot, and the number of knots has dropped to around 200,000 knots per square meter.
In addition, wool dyers only use chemical dyes, and the designs are always almost identical. In a word, a lack of artistic and artisanal quality today, which made the reputation of the old Sennehs.
