About This Senneh
Where it comes from
This is a hand-knotted Senneh rug, also written Seneh, 150 x 118 cm (4'11" x 3'10"), from the Kurdish weaving town of Sanandaj in western Iran. Senneh's weavers are named among the finest in Persia, working to a precision so exact that the best pieces are said to look almost painted rather than knotted.
What you see
The first impression is a deep navy ground carrying a chain of three stepped red medallions, bold enough to read as one continuous zigzag rather than a repeat. The two outer medallions are navy, edged in red and gold; the centre one is worked in cream, breaking the expected symmetry and giving the chain a quiet lift. Around them the navy ground fills with small angular motifs, drawn tight and even, held by a narrow multi-band border in navy, red and cream.
How it was made
That precision comes from the Senneh knot, an asymmetric knot tied tightly enough to let a weaver draw rather than repeat. Density runs to 201,000-250,000 knots per square metre over a cotton warp, fine enough to hold the medallions' sharp stepped edges without softening them. The pile is hand-spun wool, cropped to a modest 12 millimetres, keeping the small field motifs legible rather than blurred. Forty to sixty years of handling have given it a slightly ribbed, matte surface, with sheen only where light catches it directly.
At home
At this size the rug suits a study, a hallway, or a place beside a favourite chair. The navy ground holds its own against dark wood, while the red and cream in the medallions carry warmth into a room with little daylight. Underfoot the wool is dense, firm and closely cropped, made for daily use rather than for show. Walk past it through the day and the cream medallion keeps catching the eye, a quiet break in the pattern that never settles into repetition.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 150 × 118 cm (1.77 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 1.77 m² that is roughly 360,000 to 440,000 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.
