Senneh Rug, Iran, 200 X 151 Cm

Iranian Kurk wool rug, wool warp and weft, circa 1880. This rug has been restored according to traditional methods by a master weaver who added silk fringes due to the rug's fineness. It is in very good condition considering its age and has a beautiful patina. Exceptional and rare.

The former name of the city of Sanandaj, Senneh, is located in Iranian Kurdistan and is renowned for its knotted pile rugs. Senneh kilims are also highly prized by lovers of authentic rugs. The craftsmanship is exquisite, both in the techniques used and in the designs, which have been passed down through generations.

This magnificent Senneh rug, in dozar format, features the 'Göl farang' (Rose of France) motif across its field. Bouquets of three flowers are set within richly detailed medallions. Traditional borders frame this composition. This rug is exceptional in its quality and color harmony.
The 'Göl Farangi' motif: Its influence comes from the Damask rose, whose rose motif inspired Safavid rugs, which in turn influenced European tapestries. At the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries, the göl farnagi motif, meaning rose or flower of France, reappeared in the East on rugs and kilims from Karabakh (Caucasus), on certain Iranian rugs such as those from Bidjar, Senneh, and the Bakhtiar of the village of Faradoumbeh, as well as on Moldavian kilims from the Balkans.
