Antique Senneh Kilim Senna Rug Wool Caucasia Persian Kurdish Carpet

About the Item

This is a Northwestern Persian Antique Kurdish Kilim from the Senneh ( Senna, Sanandaj) region with wool threads and a rare, beautiful color composition. This highly collectible antique kilim has wonderful special colors and textures that are typical of an old kilim in good condition. It is a piece that allows you to feel the beauty of Kilim-like colors and the texture of the old in the best condition. Senneh carpet differs significantly from that originating in any other part of Kurdistan, and, indeed, even the surrounding villages produce the typical crude Kurdish tribal weaves. The rugs of Senneh have a peculiar fascination. The best examples possess a refinement of texture, originality, and a naïveté in color and design, which are delightful and unsurpassed by any other Persian weave. They are also unique in style and unmistakable: none of the rugs of Persia remotely resemble them. The weavers of this remote little Kurdish town are among the few in Persia who have preserved a style and dignity of their own. For 200 years, they have continued to weave in their way, undisturbed by the whims and fashions of the West. Throughout the nineteenth century, fine carpets and textiles continued to be woven in Senna for the aristocracy and the rich of Persia; they were also exported to Europe and North America. In the nineteenth century, the Senna designers generally employed a Persian-inspired curvilinear motif that emulated Safavid medallion book cover designs and the popular nineteenth-century Boteh designs, or they used the traditional Kurdish Masi Awita and Mina Khani designs.
