Songhor Persian Rugs
This magnificent semi antique Songhor Persian rug measuring 10'10" x 5'7" showcases the masterful artistry of Kermanshah province weavers from four to six decades past. The rich tapestry of red, navy blue, and brown creates a dramatic foundation, while cream, burgundy, camel, and ivory accents dance throughout the intricate geometric patterns. The central medallion (Toranj) commands attention with its bold presence, surrounded by the beloved Herati (Mahi) motifs that flow like gentle rivers across the field.
The ancient city of Songhor, nestled in the fertile valleys of Kermanshah, has been a beacon of Persian weaving excellence for centuries. Local artisans developed their distinctive style by combining the geometric precision of Kurdish traditions with the refined elegance of classical Persian design vocabulary. This particular rug represents the golden era of Songhor production, when master weavers used time-honored techniques passed down through generations to create rugs of exceptional quality and enduring beauty.
Each Herati motif, resembling fish swimming around a central rosette, carries deep symbolic meaning in Persian culture, representing abundance and the flow of life's blessings. The medallion design speaks to the cosmic order and divine protection, while the geometric border patterns create a harmonious frame that contains and enhances the central composition. The symmetrical Ghiordes knots, tied with meticulous precision, ensure this rug's longevity and lustrous wool pile that will grace homes for generations to come.
The sophisticated color palette of deep reds and navy blues, softened by warm browns and creamy ivories, makes this piece incredibly versatile for contemporary interiors. Whether anchoring a traditional living room, adding warmth to a modern dining space, or creating an elegant foundation in a study or library, this 10'10" x 5'7" foot size provides perfect proportions for medium-sized rooms. Los Angeles Home of Rugs takes pride in offering such exceptional examples of Persian craftsmanship to discerning collectors.
This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece elevates any space with its timeless beauty and authentic character, representing not just floor covering but a piece of living Persian heritage that connects your home to centuries of artistic tradition.
