RUG NAME: 1875 Antique Senneh from Northwest Persia, 185 x 124 cm
GALLERY: Senneh
CATEGORY: Persian
AGE: 1875
ID(Jozan): no. 2747
DESCRIPTION: Carpet No. (Type and Reference): 16006 SH16006
DESCRIPTION OF DESIGN AND HISTORY:
The marked influence that the courtly culture of the elite exercised on the popular arts is exemplified by the fine flatweaves for which the type name of Senneh, or Sehna, has become established. This remarkable socio-cultural process is closely linked with the enhanced status enjoyed by the west Persian town of Sannandaj in the light of the Qajar administrative reforms of the 19th century. In the course of these reforms, intended to modernise the Qajar Empire which had fallen into hopeless inner decay, the formerly insignificant and sleepy small Kurdish town of Sannandaj was given a new role as an administrative centre. The officials, staff and suppliers from Tehran and other regions of Iran who consequently settled in Sannandaj formed a new luxury market. This changed not just the economic structures of the town but also the pile weaving and other textile arts of the region, since these new consumers brought with them their own values and concepts of style. And the latter proved to be irreconcilable with the coarse, archaic, geometric folk art of the Kurds which continued to survive, for example, in Gerus rugs. Instead, closely knotted carpets and weavings with delicate floral patterns were in demand. These requirements were not satisfied by newly founded workshops but by the existing traditional producers - peasants and semi-nomads.
The stylistic features of the fine Kilim shown here should be seen against this socio-cultural background. It displays the Herati repeat with a beautiful central medallion, established in western Persia since the late 18th century and consisting of large rhombuses containing a rosette and accompanied by lancet leaves, palmettes and "Shah Abbas" flowers. The diagonal repeat is framed by a delicate border decoration. The palette is steeped in harmonious, decadent pastels shades with a predominance of yellow, cream and pink.
