Characteristics of the Region (Senneh)

Senneh, located in northwestern Iran, is the name of a city where the Kurdish people live. Senneh kilims are highly regarded among Kurdish kilims and are said to excel in weaving techniques and craftsmanship. This technique is believed to be influenced by carpet weaving. Senneh kilims are characterized by small floral patterns and a central medallion. Senneh is also known as Sanandaj, and a rich variety of flat-weave kilims are produced there. The patterns are beautifully unique, as if a flower garden is reflected in a pond.

What is a Kilim?

Persian hand-woven kilims are globally popular and are traditional hand-woven textiles that deepen in character with use. Depending on the era in which they were woven, they are called vintage kilims, old kilims, or antique kilims, and are loved by people of all ages. Most kilims are made of wool, but some kilims using cotton or silk are also produced. They use natural materials. Since natural dyes are used for coloring, you can use them with peace of mind. These hand-woven kilims are durably woven and are based on the design styles of tribes and ethnic groups known as tribal rugs. They are characterized by geometric patterns with motifs of nature and animals, and each kilim has a unique design.
Various ethnic groups live in the vast land of Iran. The designs and colors vary by region, offering a diverse range of patterns to enjoy.

Other Uses for Kilims

Kilims are widely used not only as simple rugs or floor coverings but also as decorative items on walls, sofas, tables, beds, and other interior furnishings. Their distinctive designs and colors are characteristic, and they are often utilized as accents in a room. Kilims are not merely decorative items; they are positioned as important elements that enrich the overall atmosphere of a room and highlight its individuality. They add unique charm and warmth to a room's space. By utilizing kilims, you can realize a life with art and comfort, and enjoy a life surrounded by things you love.

Kilims and Interiors

The ways to use kilims are very flexible and can be incorporated into various interior styles. In modern interiors, incorporating the unique patterns and colors of kilims into a simple space adds an accent. For natural or Scandinavian interiors, combining them with wooden furniture, plants, or interiors made of natural materials can enhance the warmth and natural atmosphere of the kilim. They also blend well with a bohemian atmosphere; placing them on the floor or hanging them on the wall enhances the overall room ambiance. Kilims have an ethnic design and tribal feel, and they go well with interiors that incorporate cultural elements from Iran, Turkey, and Morocco. By placing them as tapestries or cushions, you 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, wring out a towel tightly, and gently wipe the surface. Then, carefully wipe with water to remove the detergent, and dry in a well-ventilated, shaded area.

Important Notes

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