Description

19th century Senneh rugs come in a variety of qualities. This wonderful piece is at the top of the range. Woven on a silk foundation, it is very finely knotted in local Kurdistan wool and then clipped down to a low velvety pile. The dyes are exquisite, particularly the terracotta, greens, yellows and sapphire blue, and are all derived from natural sources. The classic Herati design with a central medallion is beautifully rendered, crisply defined and very easy on the eye. Likewise the main border with a repeating palmette and meandering vine design. This rug is an exceptional example of the group. In very good condition, and retains the original silk selvages.

Date of Manufacture

FAQs

Senneh rugs originate from the town of Sanandaj in the Kurdistan province of western Iran. They are traditionally characterised by fine knotting, symmetric or asymmetric designs, and distinctive geometric or herati motifs woven on cotton or wool foundations.

Authentic pieces from this region typically utilise hand-spun wool for the pile and warp threads, sometimes incorporating cotton. Natural plant and insect dyes, such as madder root and indigo, are traditionally employed to achieve rich, enduring colour palettes.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, professional specialist washing when necessary, and keeping the textile out of direct sunlight to prevent fading. Using a quality underlay helps prevent slipping and reduces fibre wear.

An antique textile introduces texture, history, and grounding colour to a modern space. It can be layered over larger neutral flooring or placed centrally in a living room, study, or hallway to anchor contemporary furnishings.

Authentication involves examining the knot density, flexibility of the foundation, hand-spun wool characteristics, and traditional natural dye oxidisation. Genuine older pieces display slight irregularities in weave and design due to their completely handmade nature.
