Persian Senneh Sanandaj Gol Farangi Kilim Medallion design | Floral All Wool

The term Gol Farangi  literally means foreign flower, seemingly based on motifs or patterns seen in 18th and 19th century French Savonnerie and Aubusson carpets. The orientalised design is dominated by stylised, rectilinear cabbage roses invariably seen in clusters of three flower heads and related foliage.

This particular pattern, shows a central  cartouche containing sprays of stylised (almost abstract) roses (gol farangi). This medallion design was obviously popular, and continues to be so judging from the number of times it is encountered in Senneh pile weavings. It is more rarely seen in Kilims. The ‘gol farangi’ design is also seen in carpets and rugs from other established weaving centres. This pattern is particularly present from the early 20th century onwards.. The pattern itself is likely derived from an established European textile pattern.
