Very fine, antique SENNEH carpet - Lot 43
Very fine, antique SENNEH carpet
Northeastern Persia. Late 19th century.
Wool pile on a cotton backing.
Density: approx. 8,500–9,000 knots per dm².
A midnight blue hexagonal field featuring an intricate, multicolored, stylized floral lattice pattern known as “Herati” serves as the backdrop for an ivory hexagonal medallion with orange foliage. Four wide brick-red spandrels with the same motifs frame the composition. A quadruple ivory and antique gold border featuring garlands of small flowers and, more surprisingly, cartouches of pseudo-hieroglyphs and scarabs. Colorful and graphically unconventional.
