About This Senneh
Where it comes from
This is a Senneh rug, also written Senna, hand-knotted in the Kurdish region of western Iran, measuring 147 x 112 cm (4'10" x 3'8"). Sanandaj, once known as Senneh, has long produced some of Persia's finest and most precisely drawn weavings, prized for a near-painted exactness of pattern. Here, that same precision serves an unusually bold design.
What you see
The first impression is a bold red medallion against a dense navy ground. A large stepped cross rises from the field's centre, its arms squared and angular, set over a ground packed with small florettes in the Mahi style. At the medallion's heart a small ivory diamond breaks the red, carrying its own miniature florals in red and navy. A red border, edged with small floral devices and framed by narrow navy guard stripes, closes the design at roughly a sixth of the rug's width.
How it was made
Senneh weavers work on a tightly drawn cotton warp, which is what allows the crisp, almost architectural steps of this medallion to hold their shape. The pile is hand-spun wool, clipped low at around 12 millimetres, so the surface reads matte and faintly uneven rather than glossy. At 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre, the density is enough to keep every angle sharp without smoothing away the wool's natural texture — precision and rawness in the same weave.
At home
A rug this size suits a study, a bedroom, or a quiet reading corner, beside a chair or at the foot of a bed. The deep red holds its own against dark furniture and warms a pale floor, while the navy ground keeps it grounded rather than loud. Underfoot it is firm, made for daily use, not just to be looked at. Watch how afternoon light lifts the ivory centre into view.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 147 × 112 cm (1.65 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 1.65 m² that is roughly 330,000 to 410,000 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.
