Characteristics of the Region (Senneh)

Senneh, located in northwestern Iran, is the name of a city inhabited by Kurdish people. Senneh kilims are highly regarded among Kurdish kilims and are said to be superior in weaving techniques and craftsmanship. This technique is believed to have been influenced by rug weaving. Senneh kilims are characterized by small floral patterns and a central medallion. Senneh is also currently known as Sanandaj, and a rich variety of flatweave 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 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 are 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 durable and 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 region, offering a diverse range of design patterns to enjoy.

Other Uses for Kilims

Kilims are widely used not only as simple carpets or floor coverings but also as wall decorations and as items for other interiors 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 merely decorative items but are positioned as important elements that enrich the overall atmosphere of a room and highlight individuality. They add unique charm and warmth to a room's space. By utilizing kilims, you can achieve an artful and comfortable lifestyle, surrounded by things you love.

Kilims and Interior Design

The use of kilims is highly 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 Nordic 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, enhancing the overall feel of a room when laid on the floor or hung on a wall. Kilims have ethnic designs and a tribal feel, and they pair 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 or similar cloth tightly, and gently wipe the surface. Then, wipe thoroughly with water to remove the detergent and dry in a well-ventilated, shaded area.

Important Notes

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