About the Item
**Technical Overview**
This antique Persian Senneh gallery runner dates to the late 19th century, circa 1870–1890, and originates from the Senneh (Kermanshah) region of western Iran, an area celebrated for finely drawn tribal carpets with disciplined structure. Woven in a long gallery-runner format, it measures approximately 4 ft 0 in x 17 ft 0 in (about 122 x 518 cm), placing it firmly in the elongated corridor scale. The rug is hand-knotted in wool on a cotton foundation and is a one-of-a-kind antique example with refined workmanship and strong visual presence.
**Design Analysis**
The composition is organized around a single column of stacked, stepped diamond medallions running along the length of the field, creating a clear directional rhythm. There is no central medallion in the room-scale sense; instead, the repeating medallions define the entire layout. These forms are filled with floral sprigs, boteh-like elements, rosettes, and small geometric fillers. Multiple borders frame the field, including a wider main border with floral meander motifs flanked by narrow guard stripes. A deep navy field contrasts with warm apricot-tan and cream medallions, while rust and earthy brown accents add depth and definition. Subtle abrash is visible in the navy and apricot tones.
**Weave and Performance**
Knotted with symmetrical (Turkish) knots at an estimated density of 151–250 KPSI, the runner displays fine but durable construction. The pile height of approximately 4 mm creates a firm, low-profile surface with moderate sheen and a balanced handle. A woven cotton foundation supports structural stability, making the rug suitable for low to moderate traffic areas such as galleries, hallways, libraries, and formal living zones.
**Professional Application**
This Senneh runner is well suited to traditional, collected, and architectural interiors where strong linear pattern enhances long sightlines. Its navy and terracotta palette pairs naturally with wood, stone, and neutral walls, while the elongated scale visually guides movement through corridors and transitional spaces. High rarity and prestige support its use in designer projects with long-term value considerations.
**Condition
Care**
The rug is in excellent antique condition, with even wear consistent with age and no visible repairs, stains, odor, or moth damage noted. Selvedges and fringes appear intact, with only minor irregularities typical of handwoven antiques. Professional, low-moisture cleaning is recommended, with dye testing prior to wet cleaning and avoidance of harsh or high-alkaline products, in line with 1stDibs standards for fine antique rugs.
