Description

An exceptional and outstanding rare antique Senneh rug, dating from circa 1870-1880 the weave is extremely fine indeed.  This amazing rug has a large all over Herati design, which in early carpets from the 16-17th century depicted two fish swimming around a water-lily.  Rugs in the 19th century had this design stylised two leaves around a flower. This rug actually shows fish, which is rare to see, the design is also larger like on early pieces.  Dyes are stunning with a pale faded blue border, deep dark blues for the background and vibrant reds, oranges and hints of purple for the design.  Condition wise….

. . .

It is in wonderful pile, with good soft wool and ends and sides professionally secured.  Tiny couple of old areas of restoration in the border, but very minimal.  It has been looked after over its 150 year life span, quite an amazing rare collectable rug.

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 and medallion patterns, their colours are often blue, red and using natural ivory wool.
