Impressive Antique Senneh Kilim – Terracotta Ground with Mahi Design

This impressive antique Senneh kilim from West Iran is a rare and authentic example of fine Persian flatweave. Renowned for their intricate detail and high knot density, Senneh kilims are cherished by collectors and design enthusiasts alike.

Woven with handspun wool and natural dyes, this piece features a classic Mahi (fish) design spread across a warm terracotta field. A beautifully contrasting cream geometric border adds structure and refinement. One end shows a small area of loss in the outer dark border—a subtle testament to its age and history, not uncommon in genuine antique kilims.

Unlike the many reproductions on the market, this is a true original, showcasing the craftsmanship and character that define antique Persian textiles. Ideal as a floor piece, wall hanging, or accent in a curated interior.
