Description
Senneh rugs refer to a style of rug called flat weave that has no knots used in the weaving process and the surface looks flat. The weave of Senneh rugs are compact, and the wefts are straight and the warps interlaced. Senneh rugs are produced by village weavers in the Kurdish region of Iran. The Senneh name comes from the dialect of the Kurdish weavers of Sannandaj, where they use very tightly spun fine wool.
Herat Oriental works with over 2,000 village weavers to create beautiful, authentic, handmade rugs. The majority of the weavers are women, who live in the villages of Afghanistan, Pakistan and India. As we grow, we are able to create more jobs for female weavers who otherwise would not have the opportunity to do so. The community also thrives from rug weaving as the local farmers benefit from wool sales, and the local artisans create natural and vegetable dyes for the weavers to use in their designs. Due to the handmade nature of our rugs, the size may vary from as advertised by 3-4 inches. Regular vacuuming and annual professional cleaning will keep your rug looking new for years to come.
