Authentic 19th Century Persian Senneh Rug

Offered by: Doris Leslie Blau Rugs

Description
An unusual late 19th century Senneh antique rug having an architectural design of orange and blue panels containing stylized pictorial designs with animals within a midnight blue palmette border.

Antique Senneh Persian rugs come from the northwest region of Iran. The weavers who created Senneh rugs speak the Senneh dialect, and this language identity provides the classification for the type of rugs. Created by hand, these rugs exemplify tapestry as artistic artifacts. These Persian tapestries are some of the most beautiful in existence, and they are also one of the easiest types to identify.
