About the Item

This exquisite antique rug comes from Senneh (modern-day Sanandaj), the capital of the Persian Kurdistan province. Renowned for producing the most delicate and finely knotted village rugs in Persia, this 1920s piece is a stunning example of the region's sophisticated craftsmanship. Senneh rugs are distinctive for their "paper-thin" handle and high knot density, often featuring intricate repeating patterns or a central medallion. This piece showcases the classic elegance of Kurdish art, utilizing high-quality wool that has retained its luster and vibrancy for over a century. Condition & Authenticity Era: 1920s (Antique) Condition: Good Antique Condition. Unlike many rugs of this age, it has been remarkably well-preserved. It shows minimal age-appropriate wear, maintaining its structural integrity and aesthetic charm. Cleaning: Professionally cleaned; ready for display or use. Technical Specifications Origin: Senneh (Sanandaj), Persian Kurdistan Dimensions: 57 x 96 cm (Approx. $1'10" \times 3'2"$) Technique: Fine Hand-knotting (Traditional Senneh knot) Material: Fine-spun Highland Wool on a thin Cotton foundation Colors: Deep Indigo, Madder Red, and subtle Earth tones Features: Elegant fine-gauge weave, intricate geometric detailing, historical investment piece Styling Tips The "Jewel" Accent: Due to its compact size ($1'10" \times 3'2"$), this rug works beautifully as a "jewel" piece in an entryway, at the foot of a vanity, or even as a luxurious wall hanging. Layering Art: This rug is ideal for layering over a larger, neutral-toned sisal or jute rug to add a pop of color and historical texture to a room. Collector's Choice: Because Senneh rugs from this period are highly regarded for their technical precision, this is a fantastic entry point or addition for an antique textile collector.
