ABOUT THIS PIECE

Sanneh carpets are handwoven wool rugs produced in Sanandaj, western Iran. Renowned for their intricate designs, vibrant colours, and high-quality craftsmanship, these carpets are highly sought after.

The traditional motifs incorporated into Sanneh carpets are often influenced by both Persian and Kurdish cultural designs, and are created using a wide range of weaving techniques passed down through generations of local artisans.

With their unique beauty and cultural significance, Sanneh carpets are highly prized by collectors and interior designers alike. They are considered some of the finest examples of Iranian carpet making, with the wool often used of the highest quality and carefully selected to ensure the rug’s durability and longevity. Their skilled craftsmanship and use of traditional techniques make Sanandaj carpets true works of art, treasured by their owners.

This rug features a Mahi (fish) design, symbolising fish swimming around in a pond.
