Characteristics of the Origin (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 be excellent in weaving technique and artistic craftsmanship. It is believed that this technique is influenced by carpet weaving. Senneh kilims are characterized by small floral patterns and a central medallion. Senneh is also currently known as Sanandaj, and a wide variety of flat-weave kilims are produced there. The patterns are as beautiful as a flower garden reflected in a pond, possessing a unique charm.

What is a Kilim?

Persian hand-woven kilims are globally popular 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 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 durably woven and based on the design styles of tribes and ethnic groups known as tribal rugs. They feature geometric patterns with motifs of 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 a diverse range of design patterns.

Other Uses for Kilims

Kilims are widely used not only as simple carpets or floor coverings but also as wall hangings or as elements in other interior spaces such as sofas, tables, and beds. Their unique designs and colors are distinctive, and they are often utilized as accents in a room. 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 a living space. By incorporating kilims, you can achieve a lifestyle with art and comfort, enjoying 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, incorporating the unique patterns and colors of a kilim into a simple space adds an accent to that space. For natural and Scandinavian interiors, combining them with wooden furniture, plants, or other natural materials can enhance the warmth and natural ambiance of the kilim. They also blend well with a bohemian atmosphere; placing them on the floor or hanging them on the wall can elevate the entire room's mood. Kilims have ethnic designs and a tribal feel, making them a good match for interiors that incorporate cultural elements from Iran, Turkey, or Morocco. By using 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 firmly, and gently wipe the surface. Then, wipe thoroughly with water to remove any detergent, and dry in a well-ventilated, shaded area.

Important Notes

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