Antique Senneh Allover Floral Hand Knotted Pile Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional late 19th-century weaving exemplifies the precise, sophisticated craftsmanship characteristic of senneh production. Known for their finely spun wool and extremely tight knotting, these pieces from Western Persia are highly prized among collectors of antique rugs. The field is dominated by a highly detailed, repeating botanical design, typical of allover rugs from the region. This intricate lattice of delicate palmettes and stylized blossoms eliminates the need for a central medallion, allowing the eye to travel seamlessly across the entire composition. The density of the pattern speaks to the immense skill required for its execution. A deep, saturated blue serves as the ground color, providing a dramatic backdrop for the secondary hues.
