About the Item
Oversized Antique Persian Senneh Rug
Size: 14'0" × 24'6" (426 × 746 cm)
This exceptional oversized antique Persian Senneh rug from the 1880s presents a rare opportunity to acquire a piece of Persian textile history on a monumental scale. Woven in the renowned Kurdish region of Senneh (modern-day Sanandaj), this rug showcases the sophisticated weaving techniques and design sensibilities that distinguish the region's finest creations.
The field is dominated by a remarkably intricate and symmetrical lattice of botanical forms, woven in a striking contrast of deep indigo and soft camel. At once graphic and organic, the composition is composed of a mirror-like network of stylized rosettes, palmettes, and vine scrolls—all meticulously rendered with geometric precision and rhythmic clarity.
What sets this rug apart is the balance it strikes between boldness and refinement. The dramatic navy-blue ground serves as a rich backdrop for the repeating ivory and beige floral motifs, while subtle accents of terracotta and muted sage imbue the design with understated warmth. This rug does not merely depict nature—it abstracts it into a near-mathematical harmony of form and flow.
A wide border encircles the central field, providing both visual structure and decorative richness. Floral medallions and scrolling vines meander through the border, echoing the motifs in the field while introducing a lighter palette that enhances the overall cohesion of the design. The multi-tiered guard stripes further emphasize the elegance and proportional sophistication for which Senneh rugs are admired.
Hand-knotted in fine wool with a tightly packed weave, the rug exemplifies the exceptional craftsmanship of 19th-century Persian looms. Its oversized dimensions and remarkable detail suggest it was likely commissioned for a grand architectural interior or ceremonial setting.
With its bold graphic sensibility, antique pedigree, and extraordinary scale, this Persian Senneh rug is not only a functional floor covering but a statement piece—ideal for large-scale interiors seeking historical gravitas, artistic intricacy, and timeless elegance.
This exquisite antique rug, sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, showcases a rare blend of history and craftsmanship. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
