Vintage Senneh Rug 160x122cm

This fine antique Senneh rug exemplifies the esteemed weaving tradition of the Kurdish town of Sanandaj (formerly Senneh) in western Iran. Known for producing some of the most refined and collectible rugs in Persian history, Senneh rugs are prized for their tight weave, sophisticated patterns, and exceptional wool quality.

This particular piece features the classic three-medallion layout, surrounded by the elegant Herati design—a motif involving delicate floral rosettes and stylised fish that repeats across the field. This pattern is a hallmark of high-quality Senneh work and contributes to its timeless appeal.

What sets this rug apart is its Persian knot construction, a rarer and more desirable structure in Senneh weavings (many are Turkish-knotted). Persian-knotted Senneh rugs, such as this one, are highly sought after at international auctions for their intricacy and craftsmanship.

Crafted from superior-quality wool, the rug offers a soft texture and vibrant sheen that speaks to the high standards of material selection. The colors are subtle yet rich, further elevating the elegance of the design.

With its fine weave, valuable knotting technique, and traditional motifs, this Senneh rug is not only a beautiful decorative piece but also a highly collectible textile—perfect for connoisseurs, interior designers, or serious collectors of antique Persian carpets.
