This century old Persian Senneh rug wonderfully showcases exceptional artistry and expert weaving skills. The weaver thoughtfully left their mark, including the date, making this piece as historic as it is beautiful. Known for their exceptionally fine weave and soft, supple handle, Senneh rugs are prized worldwide, and this one is no exception.
Its main field showcases a grid-like pattern of boteh motifs, symbols of life and eternity. At either end, charming camel and samovar designs offer a delightful glimpse into the everyday life of its creator. The border bands are equally fascinating, featuring botanical motifs and a "fence of security" that embodies protection and tranquility.
The color palette is both elegant and understated with rich and warm wheat tones complemented by subtle hints of blue and brown. Handwoven with vegetable dyed wool, this rug embodies traditional craftsmanship, with the dyes lending a natural vibrancy to the hues. In really good condition, the wool’s natural sheen enhances its luxurious appearance, and it feels as soft as it looks. Orientation adds to its magic: depending on where you stand or how the light falls, the rug seems to glow, revealing layers of depth and tone.
This oversized rug is a perfect harmony of history, beauty, and artistry. From its intricate motifs to its warm hues, every detail invites appreciation, offering a unique blend of art and functionality that will enhance any space it resides in.
