Description

This antique Senneh kilim is full of rainbow colours and a fun abstract design.  Often Senneh weavers would use this abstract design in the centre, this is an unusual variation on the Gol Farang design we have seen on piled carpets.  It really almost has a contemporary feel to it, although woven around 140 years ago! The dyes were excellent during this period of weaving, so they have retained their colour and we only have mellowing to the colours.  The border has this gorgeous yellow, the flowers are well drawn and the whole kilim is quite joyful!

Exceptional condition it has been used on the floor and well looked after.  We supply excellent anti-slip underlay to aid kilims, helping them stay flat on the floor.  As unlike a wool piled carpet, these flatweaves are very thin and often move around.  A beautiful rare kilim, as you never see kilims of this type and age in such amazing order.

Senneh or Senna, now called Sanandaj which is the capital of the Kurdistan province in Persia produced a variety of exceptional and decorative pieces by Kurd weavers in the late 19th century. Fine Senneh carpets, rugs and runners are often delicate in their design and their distinctive, weaving technique. Varying in design from all over floral shrub designs, Gol Farang designs, earlier carpets and runners have amazing Poppies all over as well as medallion patterns, their colours are often blue, red and using natural ivory wool.
