Replete with irrepressible Kurdish whimsy tradition comes this darling, impressionistic Senneh mat with its extremely fine weave and luminous wool. The rug's overscale allover pattern is bursting through the limits of the field, as evidenced by the truncated vermillion blossoms floating off-scene at each end. Delicate peach tendrils connect golden bronze pansy-style flowers and miniature fronds that chromatically interact with glowing blue sunbursts and amoeba-shaped blossoms. Shimmering from lanolin-rich wool and heavier pile, these alluring tonalities softly contrast with this piece’s dramatic midnight indigo ground. Its pinpoint, undulating vine border is the ideal aesthetic frame for the spacious activity of the center. Its usefully narrow mat size becoming increasingly scarce, this rug’s original artistic statement will personalize a smaller niche or bedside.
