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. 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 called Sanandaj, and a wide variety of flatweave kilims are produced there. The patterns are beautifully intricate, as if a flower garden is reflected in a pond, and possess a unique charm.

What is a Kilim?

Persian hand-woven kilims are globally popular traditional hand-woven textiles that become more appealing with age. They are known as vintage kilims, old kilims, or antique kilims depending on the era they were woven, and are loved by people of all ages. Most kilims are made of wool, but some are produced using cotton or silk. Natural materials are used. Natural dyes are also used for coloring, so you can use them with peace of mind.

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, wring out a towel tightly, and gently wipe the surface. Then, wipe thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove the detergent and dry it in a well-ventilated, shaded area.

Please Note

Due to being hand-woven, there may be slight distortions in shape, weaving irregularities, and dye variations. Please enjoy these as part of the charm of a hand-woven item.
