Sehna (West Persian textile style) (West Persian textile styles after the Mongols, Persian textile styles after the Mongols, ... Styles and Periods (hierarchy name))

 

Note: Style of textiles, particularly a variety of sophisticated, finely-woven Persian rugs, made by Kurds in and around the city of Sanandaj (formerly usually spelled Sehna), Iran. The Sehna pile rugs and kilims are prized for their delicate pattern, coloring, and fine weave. The designs usually use a repeat pattern (diaper) such as the herati, in which a diamond lattice pattern peeps through a tangle of blossoms and leaves or through intricate versions of the boteh, a leaf with curling tip. The entire field may show such a pattern, or a medallion scheme may introduce a hexagonal centerpiece and straight-arched ends. The borders are full of fine detail, often featuring paired arabesques known in the trade as "turtles." The finely woven Sehna kilims are slit tapestries of the highest quality. Their small-scale borders are carried around the ends, as they are typically in pile carpets but rarely in such weavings. Sehna also manufactured saddle cloths, those in pile usually provided with a two-slope arch. Although the town of Sehna has given its name to the asymmetrical Persian knot (see "asymmetrical knots"), it is the Turkish, or symmetrical, knot, that is actually used there.

Additional Notes:
Chinese (traditional) ..... 一種織品風格;尤指各式製作精緻、編織細膩的波斯地毯。此類織品是在伊朗的薩南達季(Sanandaj;原名沙那(Sehna)))及其附近地區,由庫德人所製作而成。沙那的絨毛地毯及繡織地毯備受重視之處在於其細緻的圖案設計、用色與細膩的編織手法。這些設計通常採用重複的圖案(菱形花紋),例如赫拉特圖案。在赫拉特圖案中,可以看到一個菱形的格紋圖樣,在花卉以及葉片交錯處亦或錯綜複雜的波塔(boteh)圖樣中隱約顯現出來。波塔(boteh)指的是一種頂端捲曲的葉片圖案。地毯的背景可能全部都以赫拉特或是獎章圖案呈現。獎章圖案的中央可能有六角型的圖樣,且六角形的末端呈現筆直的拱形狀。地毯的邊飾則充滿巧妙的細節,且通常具有成對的藤蔓花紋綴飾;在織品業中,此類綴飾被稱為「玳瑁」(turtle)。織工精細的沙那繡織地毯是品質最佳的長條狀繡帷。此類地毯的邊飾範圍較小,只出現在地毯末端。繡織地毯很少採用這類的邊飾;一般可在絨毛地毯上看到這種邊飾。沙那當地也生產馬鞍布;絨毛的馬鞍布上通常具有一個兩面傾斜的拱形物圖案。雖然不對稱的波斯結(請參見「不對稱結」(asymmetrical knots))是以沙那城來命名,但是沙那當地實際上所採用的是對稱的土耳其結。
