Large Antique Hand Knotted Silk and Wool Senneh Rug

About the Item

Beautiful decorative rug hand-knotted in the province of northern Kurdistan. The pattern consists of rhombs, mir-e buteh and herati and the carpet is dominated by burgundy and beige colors. The wool is generally of high quality similarly found in Antique Turkish Sparta Palace size rugs with luxe regency Venetian styles. The wool and silk used in this antique rug is highly durable and perfectly capable of resisting wear and tear of every day use. Wool has a naturally dirt-repelling effect and is easy to keep clean. Recently professionally cleaned. The lighting in which it was photographed makes the pile appear to be spotted, however, it is not. The sunlight may have changed this rug, as well. Kurdistan is a roughly defined geo-cultural territory in Western Asia wherein the Kurdish people form a prominent majority population and the Kurdish culture, languages, and national identity have historically been based. Geographically, Kurdistan roughly encompasses the northwestern Zagros and the eastern Taurus mountain ranges. Measures: 117 1/2" wide x 166 1/4" long.
