Senna (Seneh)
Seneh rugs are Persian carpets woven in the city of Sanandaj (historically called Seneh) in western Iran. These rugs are known for their fine weave, intricate patterns, and delicate designs, often featuring Herati motifs or small repeating patterns. Seneh carpets are among the most refined Persian village rugs. Scholars dispute the origin of the name Senna. The capital of Persian Kurdistan is called Sanandaj, and some believe it was formerly called Senna, but others believe that as in the case with Lavar Kirman, Senna originally was the name of a village outside Sanandaj, and since it produced the highest quality weavings of the region, the name was adopted for the entire region
