Origin

The town of Senneh is called Sanandadj today and is the hub of the west Persian province of Kurdistan. Incidentally, alongside its rugs, Sanandadj is famous throughout Iran for its backgammon sets handcrafted from walnut burl wood. Senneh rugs are now sometimes referred to as Sanandadj rugs as well. Classic Senneh rugs have only a single weft thread, which makes them easy to identify from the back. The more finely they are knotted, the shorter the pile is sheared.

Material

The pile of this Senneh was hand-knotted from high-quality new wool. New wool is obtained by gently shearing sheep. New wool is a renewable, natural raw material with a number of impressive properties: thanks to the natural lanolin in the wool, the surface repels droplets of water and is therefore naturally protected against dirt. Wool also offers excellent thermal insulation, has a regulating effect on the indoor climate and dampens sound.

The weft and warp threads of this Senneh are made of cotton. This versatile material is tear-resistant and elastic, which makes it particularly well suited to a hard-wearing foundation.

Condition

This Senneh has a story to tell. It was knotted in around 1950. It has been thoroughly cleaned and is in good, though only partly restored, condition. The edges are damaged in places. We have not fully restored this Senneh because we feel it has a special presence just as it is. If you would like us to, we are of course happy to carry on restoring the rug for you. We can bring almost any rug back to near-perfect condition.

A note on the photos

The colours of this rug change depending on which side you look at it from. It all depends on whether the light falls with the nap of the pile or against it. That is why we have photographed the rug from several angles.

Child labour? No thanks.

Child labour? No thanks. Children belong in school, not at a knotting frame or a loom. For us it therefore goes without saying that we only offer rugs made under fair conditions and without child labour.

We attach particular importance to humane working conditions and tolerate no child labour at any of our producers. Thank you for helping us to ensure fair conditions.

That is why we support the initiative Care & Fair against child labour in the rug trade.
