Senneh Persian Rugs
This extraordinary semi antique Senneh Persian rug, measuring 9'10" x 3'11", showcases the sacred mihrab prayer design interwoven with a striking central medallion that speaks to centuries of Persian spiritual artistry. The deep crimson and dark red foundation creates a dramatic canvas, while navy blue geometric borders frame the composition with precision, enhanced by delicate cream and ivory accents that highlight the intricate knotwork throughout this remarkable piece.
Originating from the historic city of Sanandaj in Persian Kurdistan, Senneh weavers have maintained their reputation as master craftspeople for over four centuries, creating rugs renowned for their exceptionally fine knots and sophisticated color palettes. This particular rug represents the pinnacle of Senneh artistry, where traditional Islamic prayer rug motifs merge seamlessly with classical Persian medallion designs, creating a visual narrative that bridges the sacred and the decorative in perfect harmony.
The mihrab or prayer niche design carries profound spiritual significance in Persian culture, traditionally oriented toward Mecca and used during daily prayers, while the central medallion symbolizes the cosmic order and divine protection. The rich ochre and brown undertones add depth to the geometric patterns, creating subtle gradations that reveal new details as light changes throughout the day, making this rug a living artwork that evolves with your living space.
At 40-60 years old, this semi antique masterpiece displays the perfect balance of vintage character and structural integrity, with natural wool fibers that have developed a lustrous patina while maintaining their resilience. Los Angeles Home of Rugs is honored to present this one-of-a-kind hand-knotted treasure that transforms any hallway, entryway, or narrow space into a gallery of Persian heritage, elevating your home with authentic cultural artistry.
The runner proportions of this Senneh rug make it ideal for creating dramatic focal points in transitional spaces, where the interplay of dark red, navy blue, and cream colors provides sophisticated elegance that complements both traditional and contemporary interiors. Whether placed in a long corridor, beside a bed, or as a kitchen runner, this exceptional piece brings the timeless beauty of Persian craftsmanship into modern living spaces with unmatched grace and cultural authenticity.
