Senna Rows of Flowers Rug

The source of the rug comes from the book Antique Rugs of Kurdistan A Historical Legacy of Woven Art, James D. Burns, 2002 nr.28. This was an exclusive example of offset rows of flowers designed 18th-century rug from Senna, Eastern Kurdistan area. This example is special because the flowers are well scaled in relation to the full pattern and beautifully colored also floral repeat is particularly associated with rugs from East Kurdistan, and this is the earliest Senna weaving illustrated here with an indigenous border pattern. The design of this rug is interpreted by our designers and soft colors are chosen for this rug.
