About This Sannandadj
Where it comes from
A Sanandaj, from the Kurdish city of that name in western Iran, also written Senneh — measuring 171 x 126 cm (5'7" x 4'2"). Sanandaj has been producing the finest of all Kurdish weaving since the early nineteenth century, work drawn from a cartoon in a workshop rather than knotted from memory, and prized for a precision of line that tribal Kurdish rugs do not attempt.
What you see
The field is split cleanly on the diagonal into two dark navy zones and two of pale cream, and against that division sits a stepped medallion with a core of deep red, seeming to hover rather than sit on the ground beneath it. The effect is unusually sculptural for a Mahi lattice pattern, which normally reads as flat, repeating fish-scale over an even field. A wide red border carries the same cultivated palette outward — floral scrollwork in cream, rose-pink and dark green — holding the whole composition in place without competing with it.
How it was made
That floating quality is a matter of drawing and density together. At 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre, tied by hand in wool spun on the premises over a cotton warp, the weaver could resolve the diagonal edge between navy and cream as a clean line rather than a blur, so the split reads sharp rather than soft. A pile clipped to 12 millimetres keeps that line crisp underfoot as well as to the eye, with enough sheen across the wool to catch the change between the two grounds as the light moves.
At home
At this size the rug suits a study, a bedroom, or a quiet corner of a sitting room, somewhere it will be seen whole rather than half-covered by furniture. The cream zones lift a room with little daylight, while the navy holds its own against dark wood. Underfoot it is dense and firm, sound for daily use rather than a piece to be tiptoed around. Watch it through a change of light and the medallion keeps appearing to lift clear of the field beneath it.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 171 × 126 cm (2.15 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 2.15 m² that is roughly 430,000 to 540,000 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.
