Persian Sennah Rug

4 foot by 4 foot 9 inch

This is a new attractive well made rug. I realize that eBay is sometime seen as a dumping ground for dead inventory or flawed rugs. My policy is to pick first quality attractive rugs. I also personally examine each rugs front and back for flaws. This rug has no color run, no holes or tears and no problems that I can find.

Rug #1032-200-1032

This rug is from the Province of Kurdistan in Iran. It was woven in one of villages in the area of Sennah or as some spell it Sanandaj. The rugs woven in the city of Sennah were single wefted or as it is called in the literature Sennah Baft . This rug is double wefted and made like a Bijar. The design is a traditional Sennah pattern. If it were in a different pattern then many would call this a Gerus Bijar.

The color is off on this close-up. Use the others for color.

Condition: New, no dye run, no holes, no tears, and no repairs. This rug lays flat.

Size: 4 foot by 4 foot 9 inch

Use: Ideal for floor use. The wool is densely packed and stands erect because of the construction. This make these rugs to be one of the nicest rugs to walk on.

Origin: Persian, imported from the Sennah area in Kurdistan Iran.

A note about the construction:

Bijar Weave

Bijar and Sennah Construction

Both the Bijar and Sennah rugs use a symmetrical knot on a two level foundation. There is little difference between Sennah and Bijars rugs. Bijars may have a slightly higher knot count but some of these Sennah are of exceptional quality.

By the way, in the rug books it often says that Sennah rugs are single wefted. Years ago they did make single wefted rugs in the city of Sennah. However I have never seen a newer rug from Sennah that is single wefted. I suspect that they stopped making them at least 20 years ago and possibly not since W.W.II.

This rug is from Herat Orientals of Alexandria Virginia. Zia Hassanzadeh the owner and I are old friends and we have done business for years. Zia has given me Carte Blanche to select the rugs I like from his inventory and Herat Orientals will handle the sale and ship them.

This is an ideal opportunity for you since this way you can find first quality rugs from the inventory of one of the major importers to the US market. Herat also carries a large inventory of large and antique carpets and rugs.

Best wishes,
