Senneh carpet (cotton warp and weft, wool pile), northwester - Lot 196
Senneh carpet (cotton warp and weft, wool pile), northwestern Persia, circa 1930 The town of Senneh or Sanandaj has long been renowned for the finesse of its carpets, both in the execution of the knotting or weaving, and in its decorative motifs. The wool of Kurdistan is long and shiny, but dry and rough, accentuated by a short shaving. Senneh carpets, with a warp often made of silk, and a single weft thread made of very tight cotton, are thus very finely knotted. The carpet is decorated with a central red medallion enhanced by an ivory octagon, extended by two pendants on an ivory background and a blue background with herati motifs. This motif is composed of a lozenge formed by curved stems, which encloses a rosette and is topped by a palmette at each vertex, repeated ad infinitum, with four falciform leaves next to each other. This design adorned the Herat carpet (to which it owes its name). A red samovari border is inscribed between two ivory counter-borders with floral decoration. (some stains) 154 x 122 cm
