Antique Senneh Rug
145 × 110 cm · Blue, Red & Ivory

A fine antique Kurdish Senneh from Sanandaj, circa 1920 — hand-knotted in wool with a blue field, ivory medallion and red border.

Origin and Weaving Tradition

The Senneh rug takes its name from Senneh, the old name of Sanandaj, capital of the Kurdistan province in western Iran. Senneh is regarded as the home of the single (asymmetric) knot used at exceptionally high density, and the town has given its name to the "Senneh knot" recognised across the weaving world. Senneh pieces are prized among collectors for their fineness, their crisp drawing and the characteristic dry, thin handle of the pile.

This is a genuine antique piece, woven circa 1920 — roughly a century old. It was hand-knotted in wool on a cotton foundation by Kurdish weavers in the traditional manner, with the fine, even knotting that distinguishes Senneh work from coarser village weaving.

Colour and Composition

The rug carries a deep blue field centred on an ivory medallion, framed by a red border. The drawing is geometric in the Kurdish tradition, with the precise, small-scale detail that the high knot density of Senneh allows. The natural wool pile gives the colours a soft, slightly variegated depth that only age and hand-spun yarn produce.

Condition

Very good overall condition for its age. The pile is evenly low and consistent across the field, the fringes have been newly secured, and the rug retains its original shirazi (selvedge) finish. A sound, display-ready antique — a beautiful collector's piece and an authentic example of Kurdish weaving.

Presence in the Room

At 145 × 110 cm (1.6 m²) this is a versatile small format. Three settings in which it comes into its own:

  • Entrance or hallway: a fine antique greets guests at the threshold and anchors an entry with colour and history.
  • Bedroom accent: beside or at the foot of a bed, the soft wool pile and quiet medallion bring warmth to a private room.
  • Study or collector's wall: small Senneh rugs are often shown as textile art — on a wall or over a chest — where the fineness of the knotting can be appreciated up close.

Excellent experience with the seller, Karl. He responded to all my questions. In addition to the photos on the website, he sent even more photos and a video of the rug, which is exactly as it appeared. The purchase was simple. Shipping was via UPS and the rug arrived one week later.

We were unsure which rug to choose, and wanted a rug that was in almost new condition. Karl was very honest about the conditions of the rug, even details/"defects" that we cannto necessarily see on a computer screen, In the end, our Tibetan rug came early which was perfect timing for our new home, and in the good condition just as Karl described. We absolutely love our new rug. Thank you.
