Songhor Persian Rugs
This enchanting semi antique Songhor Persian rug at 10'10" x 3'9" showcases the masterful artistry of Kermanshah province weavers from 40-60 years ago, featuring the beloved Herati (Mahi) pattern interwoven with geometric motifs in a sophisticated palette of cream, madder red, and navy blue. The narrow runner proportions make this piece ideal for hallways, galley kitchens, or as an elegant accent along staircases, where its cream foundation creates an airy feel while the rich madder red and deep navy blue provide striking contrast.
Songhor rugs originate from the ancient weaving center in Kermanshah province of western Persia, where generations of Kurdish and Persian artisans have perfected their craft using local wool and traditional dyeing methods passed down through centuries. This particular region became renowned for producing runners and narrow carpets that served both practical and decorative purposes in Persian homes, with weavers developing distinctive interpretations of classic motifs that reflect the mountainous landscape of their homeland.
The Herati (Mahi) pattern dominating this rug's field represents one of Persia's most cherished design traditions, with its fish-like motifs symbolizing abundance and protection while the surrounding geometric elements create rhythmic movement across the cream ground. The interplay of dark red, brown, camel, black, and white accents adds depth and complexity to the overall composition, with each color carefully chosen from natural dyes that have mellowed beautifully over the decades.
As a one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece using symmetrical Ghiordes knots, this semi antique treasure brings authentic Persian heritage and timeless elegance to any space it graces. Los Angeles Home of Rugs proudly presents this exceptional runner that transforms narrow spaces into galleries of Persian artistry, where the interplay of traditional motifs and sophisticated colorwork creates an atmosphere of refined cultural heritage.
The generous 10-foot length paired with the manageable 3-foot width makes this Songhor runner particularly versatile for modern interiors, whether defining pathways in open floor plans, adding warmth to hardwood floors, or serving as the foundation for eclectic bohemian styling where its cream background harmonizes beautifully with contemporary furnishings while the madder red and navy blue provide sophisticated anchor points.
