About the Item

An exceptional and historically resonant antique Senneh tribal rug, hand-knotted from pure wool in the traditional Kurdish Weaving Region during the late 19th century (circa 1880s). This exquisite piece is considered highly collectible due to its age and the exceptionally large, prominent diamond medallion, a highly unusual feature for Senneh pieces which typically favor all-over designs. This rare medallion anchors the composition beautifully. The field features a densely packed, repeating floral motif—reminiscent of the Boteh or Mina Khani designs—set against a deep, dramatic indigo ground. The mesmerizing central medallion is executed in earthy tones of terracotta, beige, and slate, creating a striking contrast. Senneh rugs are celebrated for their fine, dense knotting and enduring vibrant colors, which are beautifully preserved here. This unique structure and size make it an impactful and soulful addition to any collector's space, whether placed in a study, entryway, or layered over contemporary flooring. This rug is a genuine artifact of its time and shows desirable signs of age-appropriate wear, including variations in pile height and patination, which only enhance its authentic antique charm. We encourage potential buyers to examine all detailed photographs to appreciate the texture and wear that tell its long history.
