Description

This large antique carpet from the West of Persia and the area of Senneh has one of the rarest designs you will see.  A field of Poppies on an ivory background, all beautifully woven in rows using pale blues, pinks and soft reds for the flower heads.  The detail and skill involved to weave this pattern on a huge carpet is remarkable and would have undoubtedly taken a long time, as the size of the Poppies is fairly consistent, you would have had 5-6 weavers all weaving in unison to create this gentle pattern.

The border design of flower petals, vines and leaves is a design we have seen on early Joshughan carpets too.  With two minor borders in red this frames the ivory centre very well and this exceptional carpet placed in a large drawing room, dining room or bedroom would add so much and be fabulous to view every day.

Please view ref. 8711 to see a rare pair of runners with the same design! Very rare for us to have a set so to speak, these runners would look amazing nearby this carpet.

Book in a professional home visit or showroom visit to see this outstanding carpet up close in all its beauty! We would welcome the opportunity to help you find a carpet for your home.

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.
