Characteristics of the Origin (Senneh)

Located in northwestern Iran, Senneh is the name of a city inhabited by Kurds. Senneh kilims are highly regarded among Kurdish kilims and are said to excel in weaving techniques and artistic 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 rich variety of flatweave kilims are produced there. The patterns are beautifully intricate, as if a flower garden were reflected in a pond, and possess 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 when 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 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 sturdily woven and are based on the tribal and ethnic design styles 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, offering a diverse range of patterns to enjoy.

Other Uses for Kilims

Kilims are not just used as rugs or floor coverings, but are also widely utilized as other interior items, such as wall hangings, or draped over sofas, tables, and beds. Their unique designs and colors are distinctive, and they are often used as accents in a room. Kilims are not merely decorative items; they are important elements that enrich the overall atmosphere of a room and highlight individuality. They add unique charm and warmth to a living space. By incorporating kilims, you can enjoy a life surrounded by art and comfort, and living with things you love.

Kilims and Interior Design

Kilims are highly 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, combining them with wooden furniture, plants, or other natural materials enhances the kilim's warmth and natural feel. They also pair well with a bohemian aesthetic; placing them on the floor or hanging them on the wall enhances the overall room atmosphere. Kilims feature ethnic designs and a tribal feel, making them a good match for interiors that incorporate cultural elements from Iran, Turkey, and 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 the kilim is stained, dilute a neutral detergent (for wool/silk) with water, wring out a towel firmly, and gently wipe the surface. Then, carefully wipe with a damp cloth to remove the detergent, and dry in a well-ventilated, shaded area.

Please Note

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