Seneh oriental rug 157 x 270 cm

Seneh rugs are easily recognisable by their knotting method, as well as the pattern colours and wool used. They usually have a simple weft, and the back of the rugs is often coarse and grainy, as the wool is spun tightly by hand before the knotting. Seneh wool is among the best qualities of Persian wool: firm and durable with a deep glow. In the 19th century, Seneh rugs were famous for their fineness and the variation in patterns. The typical Seneh rug has a Herati pattern field, with a series of geometrical medallions, one inside the other, each repeating the pattern with a different ground colour.
