Old Handwoven Carpet, All-over Layout, Wool on Cotton Warp, Senneh, 135 × 203 cm Ref 10200018

This vintage handwoven rug, featuring an all-over design with delicate boteh (paisley) motifs, stands as one of the authentic expressions of this long-standing tradition—an artwork that is not only functional but also a visual narrative of the worldview of Sanneh’s artisans. Sanneh rugs from the city of Sanandaj, with their unique style and beauty, have endured as a living heritage woven into their threads. Measuring 135 × 203 cm (4'5" × 6'8") and covering an area of 2.75 m² (29.60 ft²), this rectangular rug is woven at a density of about 3,300 knots/dm², reflecting a perfect balance between fineness and durability—for those who value a rug not merely for its appearance but for the depth of its weave and quality. Made from soft, natural wool with a cotton warp, it brings a distinct sense of warmth and comfort to any space. The deep, dignified navy-blue field forms an ideal backdrop for the boteh motifs, while the boldly artistic lacquer-red border creates a captivating contrast, elegantly defining the boundary between calm and vitality. The all-over design, without a central medallion and featuring the repetition of boteh motifs across the entire surface, conveys a sense of visual and spiritual fluidity—as if an endless, creative nature is continuously unfolding within the piece. This rug is crafted not merely to cover the floor but to adorn the soul of the home. It stands as a symbol of the union between ancient tradition and timeless beauty—a testament to the hands of artisans who, with patience and skill, have left behind a story of color, form, and meaning, so that future generations may see a rug not as a commodity, but as an art form.
