Description

The weavers in the Kurdish city of Senneh were among the most talented in Persia in the 19th century. Apart from the fine rugs, they produced exceptional quality wool kilims which were often used as textile furnishings. This finely woven piece is an excellent example. The wool has a lovely supple texture which folds like a textile. It is difficult to believe it is 140 years old! All the colours are derived from organic dyes, including an indigo blue, greens, golds, terracottas and light blues. Please take a moment to look at the detail pictures to see how beautiful each colour is. As for the design, the drawing of the so-called ubiquitous Herati pattern is elegant which is repeated through the entire field, and is very easy on the eye. Note also the very pretty borders which frames the composition. Cherished through the generations this kilim has survived in really excellent condition, with very little wear and no repairs. Professionally cleaned the colours have recovered their freshness. This is an exceptional example of Persian Senneh weaving.

Date of Manufacture

Aaron Nejad Carpets and Rugs has dated this Antique Persian Kilim to the 1880s.

Persian kilims are traditional flatwoven textiles crafted by nomadic and village weavers across Iran for centuries, primarily used as floor coverings, blankets, and storage sacks.

Authentic kilims are typically constructed using a slit-weave flat-weave technique with hand-spun wool warp and weft yarns, often dyed using natural botanical and mineral colourants.

Authenticity is determined by examining the hand-spun wool consistency, natural colour variations, asymmetrical tribal motifs, and the characteristic weave tension found in period examples.

This piece works effectively to ground contemporary living spaces, adding texture and heritage pattern when layered over neutral flooring or hung as textile art.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, keeping the textile out of direct sunlight to prevent fading, and utilizing professional rug cleaners experienced in antique wools.
