Senneh rugs, originating from the city of Senneh, are among the most refined and highly regarded handwoven carpets in the world. Known for their intricate designs, fine textures, and exceptional craftsmanship, these rugs represent the peak of rug-making tradition. Their beauty and durability make them highly coveted by collectors, decorators, and connoisseurs alike. With a rich history dating back centuries, Senneh rugs have become synonymous with luxury and artistic achievement. The art of weaving in Senneh dates back to ancient times, with the city itself becoming a prominent center for carpet production. Throughout the centuries, Senneh rugs have been recognized for their outstanding quality and intricate designs. Although their origins are rooted in a long-standing tradition of Persian rug-making, the city of Senneh has established its own unique style, which is evident in the fine details and symmetrical patterns that characterize these rugs. Senneh rugs were traditionally woven for royal courts and wealthy families, who sought carpets that showcased not only luxury but also exceptional skill. Today, these rugs continue to captivate collectors and interior designers with their timeless appeal. Senneh rugs are renowned for their precision and attention to detail. The designs often feature a combination of geometric shapes and floral motifs, carefully arranged to create a balanced and harmonious composition. These patterns are meticulously woven, with the shapes and forms often repeated in a way that highlights the weaver's mastery. A signature feature of Senneh rugs is the use of the "Medallion" design, often placed in the center of the rug and surrounded by intricate borders. Other common motifs include diamond-shaped patterns, stylized flowers, and delicate scrolling vines, all contributing to a highly detailed and symmetrical appearance. Senneh rugs are typically characterized by a harmonious color palette, with a mix of deep reds, blues, and earthy tones like ivory, cream, and gold. These colors are carefully selected to complement the designs and give the rug a balanced and sophisticated feel. The colors are often achieved through the use of natural dyes, ensuring that they are vibrant yet long-lasting. The colors in Senneh rugs are not overly bold, but rather subtle and soft, creating an atmosphere of calm and elegance. This makes them a versatile choice for a wide range of interior design styles. Senneh rugs are traditionally crafted from the finest materials, including high-quality wool and silk. The wool used in these rugs is soft, durable, and perfect for intricate weaving. In many cases, silk is used to accentuate certain parts of the design, adding a luxurious sheen and enhancing the details. The combination of these materials results in a soft, plush texture while maintaining the rug's strength and longevity. The cotton foundation of Senneh rugs provides support and stability to the weaving, ensuring that the rug holds its shape and remains durable for many years. The creation of a Senneh rug requires immense skill and dedication. Skilled artisans use the Persian knotting technique, known for its precision and durability. This technique involves knotting each fiber by hand, ensuring that the design is perfectly aligned and the rug is durable. The knot density in Senneh rugs is often very high, which adds to their softness and enhances the visual appeal of the designs. This meticulous craftsmanship means that each Senneh rug is unique, with no two rugs being identical. Senneh rugs are highly versatile, making them suitable for a variety of interior styles. Their intricate designs and rich colors make them a perfect fit for traditional settings, adding an air of sophistication and luxury to any space. At the same time, their refined elegance allows them to complement modern or eclectic decor, making them a great choice for contemporary homes. Whether placed in a formal living room, dining area, or bedroom, a Senneh rug enhances the overall aesthetic of the space, becoming both a functional floor covering and a work of art. One of the key advantages of Senneh rugs is their durability. Thanks to the high-quality materials and expert craftsmanship, these rugs are designed to last for many years, even with regular use.

Rotate your rugs frequently to equalize the damaging effects of the sunlight. Continual direct exposure to sunlight will damage a rug over time, use window shades, shutters, or heavy curtains to safeguard your investment.

Protect your rugs from Fumes and Dampness from furnaces, stoves, chimneys and auto exhaust can mix with humidity in the atmosphere to form an acid that fades and deteriorates the appearance of wool. Over time, dampness will rot the threads and destroy the fibers of a rug. Keep them in a dry environment.

Wear and tear If a rug is cut or torn, have a competent person repair the damage as soon as possible. Holes can expand very quickly and ruin an otherwise repairable carpet. With ordinary use, the selvage edges tend to fray as they are not as compressed as the rug pile. Worn edges can easily be re-darned. Fringes can be replaced. Worn or damaged areas in the middle of a rug can be re-knotted. Even large holes can be restored.

Moths can cause extensive damage to Oriental rugs; however, a carpet in normal use is rarely in danger from moths. Frequent rotation and regular exposure to light and air usually keeps moths at bay. Eliminate these pests and safeguard against their return by spraying the front and back of a carpet every six months with moth spray.

Padding an Oriental rug the life can be doubled with the use of good-quality padding. Padding protects the rug, especially in heavily-trafficked areas. The best padding is made of hair or fiber with a rubberized surface to prevent moving and wrinkling. Avoid synthetic pad that takes on the appearance of rubber as it turns to an abrasive powder after several years.

Cleaning The beauty and life of Oriental rugs are vitally dependent on their cleanliness. Lack of maintenance will contribute to loss in the potential investment.

Sweeping the rug with a broom at least once a week removes loose soil and brings out it's natural sheen

Beating is one of the best methods for cleaning a rug. It should be beaten several times on each side, always in dry weather.

Vacuuming Try to use a low suction level and a new bag. Never vacuum against the nap, as this presses dirt back into the rug. (Run your hand across the pile from fringe to fringe to determine the direction of the nap.) Do not vacuum the fringes. The suction of a powerful vacuum cleaner can tear the fringe.

Washing Oriental rugs should be washed every three to five years, depending on their use and the amount of traffic they endure. Using steam-cleaning or chemicals on an Oriental rug removes the natural oils from the wool. The pile becomes brittle, and the carpet wears out sooner. Do not, unless absolutely necessary, submerge an Oriental rug in water. Surface cleaning is usually all that is required.

Crushed pile Revive carpet pile that has been crushed by heavy furniture by brushing the indented area with a soft brush. Moisten with a spray bottle, and brush again.

Storage If a rug must be stored, it must be inspected regularly. To store a rug, wrap it in fabric. An Oriental rug needs to breathe. It can rot or mildew in plastic. A rug can be rolled up and stored in a chest with some paradichlorobenzene crystals, which make the wool inedible to moths. DO NOT lay carpets flat on top of one another for any length of time. A rug stored in a damp or humid area will mildew, which discolors and weakens the fibers. A hot or poorly ventilated storage area will dry out the base of the rug, making it brittle, destroying strength and durability. If you act immediately, you can prevent virtually any spill from becoming a stain.
