Characteristics of the Origin (Sanandaj/Senneh)

Located in northwestern Iran, Sanandaj (formerly Senneh) is a city inhabited by Kurds. Senneh kilims are highly regarded among Kurdish kilims and are said to excel in weaving techniques and artistic craftsmanship. It is believed that this technique is influenced by carpet weaving. Senneh kilims are characterized by small floral patterns and a central medallion. Sanandaj is currently also 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, and have a distinctive charm.

What is a Kilim?

Persian hand-woven kilims are globally popular traditional hand-woven textiles that become richer in character 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 durably 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 a unique design. The vast land of Iran is home to various ethnic groups. The design and color characteristics differ by region of origin, allowing you to enjoy diverse design patterns.

Other Uses for Kilims

Kilims are not simply used as rugs or floor coverings; they are also widely used as wall hangings or as other interior items for sofas, tables, and beds. Their unique designs and colors are distinctive, and they are often utilized as accents in a room. Kilims are not just 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 living space. By incorporating kilims, you can create a lifestyle surrounded by art and comfort, and enjoy a life filled with things you love.

Kilims and Interior Design

Kilims are highly versatile and can be incorporated into various interior styles. In modern interiors, the unique patterns and colors of a kilim can add an accent to a simple space. For natural or Nordic interiors, combining them with wooden furniture, plants, or other natural materials can enhance the warmth and natural feel of the kilim. They also pair well with a bohemian atmosphere; laying them on the floor or hanging them on the wall can elevate the overall ambiance of the room. Kilims have ethnic designs and a tribal feel, making them a good match for interiors that incorporate cultural elements from Iran, Turkey, or Morocco. 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 dirt is a concern, dilute a neutral detergent (for wool/silk) with water, wring out a towel firmly, and gently wipe the surface. Then, wipe thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove the detergent, and 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.
