Exceptional fine Senneh rug

Object Description

This exquisite Mid-19th century Senneh has creative characteristics of Tabriz rugs of its era and a crisp clear drawing owing to its remarkable tight weave. Its pleasantly simple drawing is generous in relation to its small format. The rare light green colour field has natural colour variation (abrash) giving great depth and richness to the simple drawing, framed by a wide ivory border. A rare and exceptional example of its type and one of a kind.

Object Condition
