Characteristics of the Region (Senneh)

Located in northwestern Iran, Senneh 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 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 flat-weave kilims are produced there. The patterns are uniquely beautiful, as if a flower field were reflected in a pond.

What is a Kilim?

Persian hand-woven kilims are globally popular traditional hand-woven textiles that become more beautiful with age. Depending on the age 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. Natural dyes are also used for coloring, so you can use them with peace of mind. These hand-woven kilims are sturdily woven and are based on the design styles of tribes and ethnic groups known as tribal rugs. They feature geometric patterns inspired by nature and animals, and each kilim has a unique design.
Various ethnic groups live in the vast land of Iran. The designs and colors vary by region of origin, allowing you to enjoy a diverse range of patterns.

Other Uses for Kilims

Kilims are widely used not only as simple rugs or floor coverings but also as wall hangings and as other interior items for sofas, tables, and beds. Their distinctive designs and colors are characteristic, 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 unique charm and warmth to a room's space. By utilizing 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 design 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, combining them with wooden furniture, plants, or other natural materials enhances the kilim's warmth and natural ambiance. They also pair well with a bohemian atmosphere; placing them on the floor or hanging them on the wall enhances the overall room's mood. Kilims have ethnic designs and a tribal feel, making them a good match for interiors incorporating cultural elements from Iran, Turkey, and Morocco. Placing 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 stains are a concern, dilute a neutral detergent (for wool/silk) with water, wring out a cloth tightly, and gently wipe the surface. Then, carefully wipe with water to remove the detergent, and dry in a well-ventilated, shaded area.

Please Note

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