Characteristics of the Region (Senneh)

Senneh, located in northwestern Iran, is the name of a city inhabited by the Kurdish people. Senneh kilims are highly regarded among Kurdish kilims and are said to excel in weaving techniques and craftsmanship. Their techniques are believed to be influenced by rug weaving. Senneh kilims are characterized by small floral patterns and a central medallion. Senneh is now also known as Sanandaj, and a rich variety of flatweave kilims are produced there. The patterns are beautifully intricate, as if a flower garden is reflected in a pond, possessing a unique charm.

What is a Kilim?

Persian hand-woven kilims are globally popular and are traditional hand-woven textiles that become more appealing with age. Depending on when they were woven, they are called vintage kilims, old kilims, or antique kilims, and are loved by people of all ages. While most kilims are made of wool, some kilims are also produced using cotton or silk. They use natural materials. Since natural dyes are also used for coloring, you can use them with peace of mind. These hand-woven kilims are robustly woven and are based on the design styles of tribes and ethnic groups known as tribal rugs. They feature geometric patterns inspired by nature and animals, and each kilim has its own unique design. Various ethnic groups live in the vast land of Iran. The design and color characteristics differ by region of origin, allowing you to enjoy diverse design patterns.

Other Uses for Kilims

Kilims are widely used not only as simple rugs and floor coverings but also as wall hangings and as items for other interiors such as sofas, tables, and beds. Their distinctive designs and colors are characteristic, and they are often used as room accents. Kilims are not just decorative items; they are important elements that enrich the overall atmosphere of a room and highlight individuality. They add a unique charm and warmth to any space. By utilizing kilims, you can create a life with art and comfort, and enjoy a life surrounded by things you love.

Kilims and Interior Design

Kilims are highly versatile and can be incorporated into various interior styles. In modern interiors, introducing the unique patterns and colors of a kilim into a simple space adds an accent. For natural or Scandinavian interiors, combining them with wooden furniture, plants, or interiors made from natural materials can enhance the warmth and natural ambiance of the kilim. They also blend well with a bohemian atmosphere; laying them on the floor or hanging them on a wall enhances the overall room atmosphere. Kilims have an ethnic design and tribal feel, making them a good match for interiors that incorporate cultural elements from Iran, Turkey, and Morocco. Arranging them as tapestries or cushions can add warmth and depth to the entire room.

Daily Care

Remove dirt and dust with a vacuum cleaner or broom. If you are concerned about stains, dilute a neutral detergent (for wool/silk) with water and gently wipe the surface with a tightly wrung towel or similar cloth. Afterward, wipe thoroughly with water to remove the detergent, then dry in a well-ventilated, shaded area.

Important Notes

Due to being hand-woven, there may be distortions in shape, weaving irregularities, or dyeing unevenness. Please enjoy these as part of the charm of hand-weaving.
