Could you please tell me what is a Seneh rug and what does it look like?

Thank you,

Susane

Hi Susane,

Three main types of rugs are called Senna, Sennah, Sanandaj, Bijar, Gerus Bijar etc.... There are Sennah kelims which are finely woven wool flatweaves these are rigs with no pile. Then there are thin city rugs. I have never seen a new one. They are easy to spot because they use traditional patterns but are single wefted and are thin and fine. The new ones are made in the surrounding area and are thick and sturdy with a deeply depressed double thick foundation. I went through my notes and found a few examples.
