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 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 currently known as Sanandaj, and a wide variety of flat-woven kilims are produced there. The patterns are beautiful, 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 traditional hand-woven textiles that become more appealing with age. Depending on the era 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 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 are characterized by 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 designs and colors vary by origin, allowing you to enjoy a diverse range of design patterns.

Other Uses for Kilims

Kilims are widely used not only as simple rugs or floor coverings but also as other interior items, such as wall hangings, sofa throws, table covers, and bedspreads. Their unique designs and colors are distinctive, and they are often utilized as accents in a room. Kilims are not merely decorative items but are positioned as important elements that enrich the overall atmosphere of a room and highlight its individuality. They add a unique charm and warmth to a room's space. By utilizing kilims, you can achieve an art-filled and comfortable living environment, enjoying a life surrounded by things you love.

Kilims and Interior Design

Kilims are incredibly 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, pairing kilims with wooden furniture, plants, or natural material decor can enhance their warmth and natural ambiance. They also pair well with a bohemian aesthetic; laying them on the floor or hanging them on the wall can elevate the overall room atmosphere. Kilims have an ethnic design and tribal feel, making them compatible with interiors that incorporate cultural elements from Iran, Turkey, Morocco, and other regions. 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 or similar cloth firmly, and gently wipe the surface. Afterward, wipe thoroughly with water to remove the detergent, then dry in a well-ventilated shade.

Important Notes

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