About This Sannandadj
Where it comes from
This is a Sanandaj, also known historically as Senneh, a city rug from the Kurdish provincial capital in western Iran, measuring 156 x 119 cm (5'1" x 3'11"). Sanandaj has produced the finest of Kurdish city weaving for two centuries, prized for closely clipped pile and drawing precise enough to rival any workshop in Persia.
What you see
A deep brick red fills the field, carrying three stacked medallions in navy, each hooked into a cross and holding a cream diamond at its centre. The three are not identical: the top core is ivory, the two below run to dusty pink, so the group reads as a sequence rather than a mirrored repeat. Small floral filler in teal, pink and dark green crowds the ground between them, and a wide, near-black border, dense with the same florals, closes the field on every side.
How it was made
The wool is hand-spun and clipped to just 12 millimetres, the short, even finish that gives Sanandaj rugs their fine, matte surface and lets a drawing this detailed stay sharp rather than blur into the pile. At 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre, the weaver held enough precision to draw three medallions that are close but not equal, a variation a coarser knot could not have carried. Forty to sixty years of settling have softened nothing of that clarity.
At home
This rug suits a smaller room: beside a bed, in a study, or under a favourite chair. Brick red holds its warmth against dark wood or pale floorboards, and the near-black border keeps it grounded rather than loud. Underfoot the wool is dense and firm, made for walking on. Morning light finds the ivory and pink cores in turn, a shift worth watching for.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 156 × 119 cm (1.86 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 1.86 m² that is roughly 370,000 to 460,000 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.
