(High-Collectible-Plus) (One of 70 "Best-of-Their-Type Rugs" Sold in 2025) Setting eyes on this extraordinarily early Senneh is like stepping back in time when this revered style offered the great fineness of weave for which they are widely coveted, lending its graphic pattern language a crystal clarity. Its Aegean blue field is like a luminous, gently rippled pool, the perfect backdrop for the surrealistically embellished esoteric blossoms mesmerizingly arrayed in a rhythm of absolute virtuoso precision. Each of the fascinating forms almost becomes an individualized character in this visual drama. The playfull mellow colors successfully illustrate what a master of their craft could do to delight the eye with exceedingly subtle variations of hue of just indigo, teal, cinnabar, ivory, and gentle hints of pale gold. While the field pattern shows what are essentially cross-sections of floating flowers, the border depicts them from above. The unfathomably remarkable condition after nearly two centuries since its conception eloquently expresses the respect and gratitude its owners held for this little masterpiece.
