This is a finely woven antique Senneh rug from circa 1930, originating from the Kurdish region of western Iran. The rug features a classic medallion design with a central diamond-shaped field filled with intricate herati motifs, set against a blue-grey indigo background. Surrounding the medallion is an ivory spandrel area, densely decorated with angular floral elements and stylized vines, providing strong contrast and visual depth. The main border showcases a repeating geometric pattern in warm tones of red, blue, and ivory, flanked by delicate guard stripes. Woven with high-quality wool and precise craftsmanship, this piece exemplifies the refined aesthetic and technical sophistication for which Senneh rugs are celebrated.
