Senneh Kilim 1130

This early 20th century Persian Senneh kilim in a runner format is an extraordinarily rare and highly collectible piece.  Senneh kilims are among the rarest and most sought-after flatweave textiles in the entire Persian rug market, and this example in excellent condition represents a genuine collecting opportunity of the highest order. Woven in the Kurdistan region of Western Persia with natural vegetable dyes on a cotton foundation, this kilim embodies the celebrated tradition of Senneh flatweave weaving at its most ambitious and accomplished.

Senneh rugs, woven in the Kurdish city of Sanandaj (historically known as Senneh) in the Kurdistan province of Western Persia, are among the most technically refined and artistically distinguished rugs in the entire Persian tribal and village canon. Senneh is celebrated for producing rugs and kilims of extraordinary fineness — with knot counts rivaling the great urban workshop traditions — worked in a wool of remarkable silky softness and luster. The Senneh kilim, in particular, is considered one of the great masterworks of Persian flatweave weaving, and runner examples are extraordinarily rare and highly prized by collectors worldwide.
