Senneh/Sanandaj Rugs: Sennah Region Kurdish Runners

8 foot Senneh Kurdish Runner

This is a Kurdish village runner from the Senneh Region. The wool is very good. The rug has had a wash when shipped to give the colors a more muted look.

I bought a few of these and they are well made Persian Kurdish village rugs. They are double wefted and differ greatly from the Sennh city rugs which are very fine and have very rough backs. These have very deeply depressed warps which give this rug a double thick foundation. This combined with thick pile make these very long lasting and durable rugs.
