Senneh Rugs

Persian Senneh rugs (from the Kurdish city of Sanandaj) are the “finest” of all Kurdish weavings. They are prized for their incredibly thin, paper-like handle and high knot density. Most commonly, they feature an all-over “Herati” or “Boteh” (paisley) pattern in a refined, delicate scale.

A Senneh rug is a connoisseur’s choice, offering a sophisticated, detailed texture that feels like a woven fabric. They are ideal for elegant spaces where a subtle, intricate pattern is preferred over bold medallions.

Senneh rugs are renowned for their exceptionally tight knotting and precise geometric or repeating boteh patterns, showcasing a dedication to meticulous detail rarely seen in traditional weaving. Distinguished by their finely spun wool and durable single-weft construction, these masterful textiles originate from the Kurdistan region; discover more about the historical significance and artistry by reading our guide to rugs of Persia Iran.
