Woven by the Kurdish tribe around the early 1900s, this antique Persian Senneh runner tells a story of tradition and artistry that has endured for generations. The main field of this runner is adorned with adorable paisleys, also known as Boteh motifs, with delicate diamonds in a mesmerizing linear pattern. These motifs, rich in symbolism, reflect the cultural heritage of the Kurdish people.
A border of dainty bands featuring botanical motifs frames the runner and the subdued palette of colors, carefully crafted with vegetable-dyed wool, exudes a sense of timeless sophistication. While it bears the marks of age with mainly worn ends, the runner remains sturdy and intact, showcasing its enduring quality. The aged patina only adds to its charm and character, making it a conversation piece that has seen the passage of time.
Handwoven over several months by skilled female weavers, this beautiful runner embodies the essence of old-world artistry and nomadic heritage, with a width ranging from 3'2" to 3'5". Welcome this exquisite piece into your home, where its history and beauty will continue to shine for years to come.
