About This Senneh
Where it comes from
Senneh, the town its name still carries even though it is now known as Sanandaj, sits at the centre of Kurdish weaving in western Iran, and no other Kurdish town has given its name to more rugs sold under it. This is a hand-knotted piece from that tradition, 158 x 121 cm (5'2" x 3'11"), a size made for a single room rather than a hall. Senneh weavers are known above all for precision: patterns drawn small and drawn exactly, with a clarity that other schools attempt at twice the scale.
What you see
The field is a warm coral red, and against it stand three medallions, linked edge to edge like the links of a chain rather than gathered around one centre. Look closer and no two are filled the same way: one in blue-grey, one in cream and red, one in a patterned blue-pink, so the eye keeps moving along the row instead of settling. Behind them runs a dense navy lattice of small diamonds, fine enough to read as texture from across the room and as pattern up close. A wide striped border in red, blue and cream closes the piece, set well clear of the field so the medallions keep their own space.
How it was made
That closeness of drawing is a Senneh signature, and it comes from the knot itself. At 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre, tied by hand in wool spun by hand over a cotton warp, the weaver had enough resolution to give each medallion its own small palette without the pattern blurring at the edges — the diamonds of the lattice stay distinct rather than dissolving into a haze, which is exactly where coarser weaving would have lost them. A 12 mm pile keeps the surface flat enough for that drawing to stay sharp underfoot as well as to the eye.
At home
At this size the rug belongs somewhere lived-in and close: a bedroom floor, a study, a reading chair with good light. The coral holds its warmth against pale boards and against darker furniture alike, and the navy ground keeps it from ever feeling loud. Underfoot it is dense and even, comfortable for bare feet, sturdy enough for a room used every day. Morning light picks out the cream in the medallions first, and it is the kind of rug where, months in, you are still finding that the three centres were never meant to match.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 158 × 121 cm (1.91 m²) this is a small rug. It works beside a bed, in a reading corner, in front of a fireplace or as a mat by a door. It does not furnish a room; it makes a point in one.
Is this rug hand-knotted?
Yes, knotted by hand — knot by knot on a loom, not machine-made. The density is 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre; across 1.91 m² that is roughly 380,000 to 480,000 individual knots, every one of them tied by hand.
How do I care for this rug?
Hand-spun wool still carries its own lanolin, which keeps liquid sitting on the surface for a moment: blot quickly, with clear water and a light cloth, working inwards and without rubbing. Otherwise regular vacuuming along the pile is enough. Turn the rug once or twice a year so light and footfall reach it evenly.
