This Senneh rug was made by Kurds living in and around the city of Sanandaj (formerly Senneh), the capital of the western Iranian province of Kurdistan. Although the name is now Sanandaj, the carpets made here still go by the historical name Senneh.

Senneh rugs are made from fine wool yarn spun very tightly in the pile, while the warp and weft are made from simpler cotton. They usually have a large diamond or diamond-shaped pattern in the center, beautifully decorated with Herati patterns. The carpets are predominantly made in dark blue and red colors, which is very characteristic of Kurdish carpets. Their elegant designs, sturdiness and darker color schemes make them a great choice for entryways, hallways and other low-traffic areas of the home. Senneh is also the home of the woven kilim senneh, which is considered the best of all Persian kilims.
