Curated Collection of Authentic 19th and the Early 20th Century Rugs, Tapestries and Textiles Artistically Handwoven in Persia, the Caucasus, Anatolia, and Around the World
A masterful example of Persian textile artistry, this mid-20th century Senneh kilim area rug showcases the refined weaving tradition of Kurdish villages in Western Persia. Finely handwoven in the classic flatweave kilim technique, the rug features a bold stepped hexagonal medallion in ivory and red, set against a deep midnight blue field. Intricate geometric and rosette motifs in shades of red, green, orange, and soft blue enhance the visual rhythm and complexity of the design.
The indigo-toned border, decorated with rosettes, perfectly frames the composition, reinforcing the balance between symmetry and ornamentation that defines Senneh weaving. Dating from the second to third quarter of the 1900s, this kilim reflects a timeless aesthetic passed down through generations.
