Songhor Persian Rugs
This exceptional 10'2" x 5'3" semi-antique Songhor Persian rug showcases the refined artistry of Kermanshah province weavers from four decades past. The warm camel field serves as a canvas for an intricate medallion (toranj) pattern, beautifully complemented by diamond lattice motifs that create visual depth and movement throughout the composition. Rich red borders frame the design while navy blue accents add sophisticated contrast, with cream, gold, and black details providing the perfect finishing touches to this masterful weaving.
The Songhor weaving tradition originates from the Kermanshah region of western Persia, where Kurdish and Persian artisans have perfected their craft for generations along ancient trade routes. This particular rug represents the golden age of Songhor production when weavers combined traditional geometric patterns with superior wool quality and natural dyes. The symmetrical Ghiordes knotting technique employed in this piece ensures exceptional durability while creating the characteristic dense pile that Songhor rugs are celebrated for worldwide.
The central medallion symbolizes the cosmic center in Persian design philosophy, while the surrounding diamond lattice represents the infinite nature of creation and prosperity. This semi-antique piece has developed the perfect patina that only decades of careful use can provide, softening the colors into harmonious tones while maintaining the crisp definition of each intricate motif. The natural wool foundation and cotton warps demonstrate the traditional materials that have made Persian rugs legendary for their longevity and beauty.
At 10'2" x 5'3" feet, this Songhor rug perfectly anchors medium-sized living spaces, dining rooms, or sophisticated home offices where its warm camel tones create an inviting atmosphere. The navy blue and red color palette complements both traditional Persian décor and contemporary furnishings, while the gold highlights catch natural light beautifully throughout the day. Los Angeles Home of Rugs presents this remarkable piece as a testament to Persian weaving excellence, offering collectors and decorators alike access to authentic cultural artistry.
This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece elevates any interior with its perfect balance of geometric precision and organic warmth, representing generations of skilled craftsmanship that transforms living spaces into sanctuaries of timeless elegance.
