About This Sannandadj
Where it comes from
Sanandaj, still known in the trade by its older name of Senneh, is the finest of the Kurdish city weavings, made not by tribal memory but from a drawn cartoon in a workshop in Iran's Kurdistan province. This piece measures 152 x 126 cm (5'0" x 4'2"), a size built for a single spot rather than a room, and it is knotted rather than woven flat. Where Sanandaj rugs usually gather the eye into a medallion or a boteh field, this one is drawn as a repeat, and that choice sets the tone for everything else here.
What you see
A deep brick red field carries a dense lattice of small ivory diamonds, each holding a tiny rosette, spreading edge to edge with no medallion to anchor it. Dark navy touches sit inside the field, quiet rather than sharp. The border widens the palette without raising its voice: a soft slate-blue ground carries rust-red rosettes and cream and gold flowerheads, with small teal and mustard notes worked in, before a dark navy guard stripe closes the design. Nothing here shouts; the pattern holds your eye by repetition, not by a single focal point.
How it was made
That evenness is a workshop skill in its own right. The pile is handspun wool on a cotton warp, knotted by hand and sheared to a short 12 mm, which is what gives the surface its close, matte finish and lets the small rosettes stay crisp rather than blur into the ground. At 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre, the density is fine enough to hold a repeating lattice steady across the whole field, corner to corner, without the small drift a coarser weave would show. It is a young piece, made within the last twenty years, carrying the same drawing this city has worked from for generations.
At home
At this size the rug is made for a single use rather than a whole room: by a reading chair, in a study, on a landing, or at the side of a bed. The brick red holds its own against dark wood and warms a pale floor without dominating either. Underfoot it is dense and firm, built for daily footsteps rather than careful ones. And because there is no medallion to settle on, the eye keeps moving over the lattice, finding a slightly different rosette catching the light each time you pass.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 152 × 126 cm (1.92 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 1.92 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.
