Fine Weave Densely Patterned Antique Persian Senneh Medlalion Rug 43315

Finely Woven Antique Persian Senneh Medallion Rug, Origin: Persia – Speckled throughout its lovely field with intricate and precise geometric designs and unified by an underlying quality of stunning, deliberate symmetry, this exceptionally elaborate and brilliantly crafted antique Persian rug made in the Senneh tradition is a study in some of the more mathematical properties of design and artistry, conveying a sense of balance and order. Light salmon and ultramarine colors are used to brilliant effect throughout the background of the piece, drawing sharp attention to the comparatively muted tan colored medallion in the center of the piece — such a powerful contrasting of colors lends prominence to the symmetry and composition of the piece. Lotus-like flowers grow along the perimeter of the rug, splashed with saffron and grey blue wash. This antique rug is in pristine condition and is a true passage in time to the height of Persian artistic design.
