Description

An outstanding example of the craft, possibly one of the best, in outstanding original condition. A finely woven flatweave from North West Persia, circa 1850, demonstrating the Herati or 'fish' design. In this case the curving blue and red flowers really do resemble leaping fish, even down to the eye like dots in the middle of where the head would be. Marvel at the quality, how fine it is and delicate, yet has somehow survived around 175 years in untouched condition. A masterpiece of weaving to be admired close up. In fact, the closer you get, the more incredible it gets. Enjoy! :)

FAQs

A Senneh kilim is a finely woven flatweave textile produced in and around Sanandaj, formerly Senneh, in western Iran. Known for their intricate repeating geometric and floral patterns, these rugs feature delicate tapestry weaving techniques using wool slit-weave construction.

Traditional Senneh kilims are constructed primarily from hand-spun wool for the pile or face yarn, woven onto a cotton or wool foundation warp. Natural vegetable dyes were historically utilised to produce deep indigo, madder red, ochre, and soft green shades.

Authentic 19th-century Senneh kilims display fine slit-weave construction, extremely tight weave structure, and complex motifs such as the Herati lattice or central medallion design. Natural dye variation, subtle colour abrash, soft reverse-side weave detailing, and age-consistent wool wear also indicate authenticity.

A Senneh kilim acts as a grounding focal point when placed over neutral timber floors in contemporary living rooms, dining areas, or study spaces. The intricate geometric patterning pairs well with minimalist furniture, leather seating, and muted colour palettes.

Maintain an antique wool kilim by vacuuming gently using a suction-only attachment without a rotary brush. Address spills immediately by blotting with a clean cloth, and consult a professional antique textile conservator for deep cleaning or structural repairs.
