Former name of the city of Sanandaj, the city of Senneh is located in Iranian Kurdistan and is renowned for its knotted-point rugs. Senneh kilims are also very popular with lovers of authentic rugs. The work is very refined both in the technique of production and in the designs that have been passed down through the generations.

Beautiful kenareh-format senneh consisting of the "mahi" and "göl" patterns. In the center, on a red 'kafzadé' background (plain field), nine medallions stand out with a beautiful interpretation of the 'gôl farang'* (French rose) pattern. The main border uses the 'göl farang' pattern.

* Göl farang: The influence comes from the Damascus rose whose rose pattern inspired Safavid carpets, which in turn influenced European tapestries. At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, the göl farangi pattern, which means rose or flower of France, is found in the Orient on Karabakh carpets and kilims (Caucasus), on certain Iranian carpets such as those of Bidjar, Senneh and the Bakthiar of the village of Faradoumbeh, as well as on Moldavian kilims from the Balkans.
