Senneh Rugs
This hand-knotted Semi Antique Senneh rug from Kurdistan - 10x5 ft - presents a compelling Medallion composition woven in Crimson, Navy Blue, a living record of one of Persia's great regional weaving traditions. Senneh weavers
employ a color palette of sophisticated restraint reflecting the cultivated aesthetic culture of Sanandaj. Deep madder reds, rich indigo navies, warm ivory grounds, and accents of soft gold and rose combine in compositions of
considerable chromatic elegance. Natural dyes of high quality, processed with accumulated technical knowledge, achieve colors of genuine depth and subtlety that reward close and sustained attention.
The boteh motif takes on a particularly refined and distinctive character in Senneh rugs - drawn with exceptional precision and deployed in tightly organized all-over repeat compositions, the Senneh boteh achieves an elegance and
visual power that makes Senneh boteh rugs among the most prized and collectible in the entire Persian boteh tradition.
The finest Senneh rugs are works of genuine artistic importance - technically demanding, culturally distinctive, and possessed of a quiet but persistent visual authority that rewards sustained living with them over time. They
reveal their qualities gradually through familiarity rather than immediate impact - a depth of character that places them among rugs genuinely lived with rather than merely displayed.
Senneh rugs - produced in Sanandaj, the historic capital of Kurdistan Province known to Western rug traders as Senneh - occupy a unique and distinguished position in Persian city weaving, celebrated for their extraordinary
technical fineness, sophisticated design vocabulary, and unique synthesis of the classical Persian formal tradition with the distinctly Kurdish artistic sensibility of the weaving culture that produces them.
