Fine Antique Senneh Haft Rangh Rug

The Senneh haft rangh rugs, derived from the Persian for ‘seven colours’, stand among the finest weavings of the Persian revival period. Weavers exquisitely craft these rugs using the finest wools on multicoloured silk warps. This structure originally aimed to mimic the texture of fine Indian shawls from Kashmir, which Iran had imported since Nadir Shah’s era and which the Qajar aristocracy of the period highly prized. The hasht par (eight petal) pattern seen in this rug typically adorns only the finest examples of Senneh weaving. The mint condition of this piece allows full appreciation of its glowing, jewel-like colours.
