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 even among Kurdish kilims, and are said to excel in weaving techniques and craftsmanship. This technique is thought to have been 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 flatweave kilims are produced there. The patterns are beautifully unique, as if a flower garden is reflected in a pond, possessing a distinct charm.

What is a Kilim?

Persian handwoven kilims are globally popular traditional handwoven textiles that grow richer in character with age. Depending on the period they were woven, they are referred to as 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 confidence. These handwoven kilims are durably woven and are 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. Designs and colors vary by region, allowing you to enjoy a diverse range of design patterns.

Other Uses for Kilims

Kilims are not only used simply as rugs or floor coverings, but are also widely utilized as wall hangings or as elements of other interiors such as sofas, tables, and beds. Their unique designs and colors are distinctive, and they are often used as room accents. 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 a unique charm and warmth to a room's space. By utilizing kilims, you can create a life with art and comfort, and enjoy a life surrounded by things you love.

Kilims and Interior Design

Kilims offer great versatility and can be incorporated into various interior styles. In modern interiors, introducing the unique patterns and colors of a kilim into a simple space can add an accent. For natural or Scandinavian interiors, pairing kilims with wooden furniture, plants, or natural materials can enhance their warmth and natural ambiance. They also blend well with a bohemian atmosphere; by laying them on the floor or hanging them on the wall, they elevate the overall feel of the room. Kilims have an ethnic design and tribal feel, making them a good match for 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 notice any stubborn stains, dilute a neutral detergent (for wool/silk) with water and gently wipe the surface with a tightly wrung towel or similar. Afterwards, wipe thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove any detergent, then air 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 a hand-woven item.
