Senneh Rugs
This hand-knotted Semi Antique Senneh rug from Kurdistan - 9x4 ft - presents a compelling Medallion composition woven in Crimson, Navy Blue, a living record of one of Persia's great regional weaving traditions. 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.
The technical refinement of Senneh pile rugs is remarkable by any standard. Weavers work with extremely fine yarns, tying individual Persian asymmetrical knots at very high densities to produce a smooth, compact pile surface of
great detail and visual clarity. The characteristic Senneh pile is significantly flatter and more compact than most Persian village productions, giving these rugs a different visual and tactile quality - possessed of a smooth,
silky precision that is entirely distinctive.
