Senneh Persian Rugs
This exceptional semi antique Senneh Persian rug, measuring 9'2" x 4'3", showcases the masterful artistry of Kurdish weavers through its intricate medallion (Toranj) and Herati (Mahi) patterns. The striking crimson field provides a bold foundation for the navy blue central medallion, while cream, ivory, black, dark red, and brown accents create a sophisticated palette that speaks to 40-60 years of careful preservation. Woven with 100% natural wool and cotton using traditional symmetrical Ghiordes knots, this one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece elevates any space with its authentic Persian heritage and timeless appeal.
The Senneh tradition originates from the historic city of Sanandaj in Persian Kurdistan, where master weavers have perfected their craft for centuries. These rugs are renowned for their exceptional fineness and durability, characteristics that make them highly prized among collectors and interior designers. The Kurdish artisans of this region developed their distinctive knotting technique through generations of knowledge passed down within weaving families, creating pieces that embody both cultural significance and artistic excellence.
The central medallion (Toranj) represents the cosmic order and divine protection, while the surrounding Herati (Mahi) motifs symbolize abundance and prosperity through their fish-scale patterns. These design elements work harmoniously across the rug's surface, with the crimson field representing passion and vitality, navy blue signifying wisdom and depth, and cream tones bringing balance and serenity. The careful arrangement of these colors creates visual movement that draws the eye throughout the composition.
The rich color combination of crimson, navy blue, and cream with darker accents makes this rug an ideal centerpiece for traditional or contemporary interiors. Its 9'2" x 4'3" foot dimensions work beautifully as a hallway runner, in a dining room beneath a table for six, or as a statement piece in an entryway. Los Angeles Home of Rugs recognizes the exceptional quality and historical significance of this Kurdish treasure.
The natural aging process has enhanced the wool's luster and softened the colors to their current magnificent state, while the cotton foundation provides structural integrity that will endure for generations. The finished edges with traditional fringe complete this authentic Persian masterpiece, representing not just a floor covering but a piece of cultural history that brings warmth, character, and timeless beauty to any home.
