Songhor Rugs
Songhor rugs are a type of hand knotted rug that originates from the small village of Songhor, located in western Persia at the heart of Kurdistan. These rugs are highly valued for their intricate designs, fine craftsmanship, and exceptional durability.
The weavers of Songhor rugs use high-quality wool, cotton, or silk to create these exquisite pieces. The wool is often sourced from local sheep, which produce a soft and durable fiber that can withstand years of use. The weavers use natural dyes to create the vibrant and bold colors that are a hallmark of Songhor rugs.
The designs of Songhor rugs are highly varied, but they often feature intricate geometric patterns and motifs. Some rugs feature a central medallion, while others have a more free-form design. The borders of Songhor rugs are often highly detailed, with repeating patterns that complement the central design.
One of the most distinctive features of Songhor rugs is their tight weave. The weavers use a high knot density to create a thick and plush texture that is both comfortable and durable. The tight weave also allows for intricate detailing and sharp, crisp lines in the designs.
Songhor rugs are highly sought after by collectors and interior designers around the world. They are known for their timeless beauty and ability to add a touch of traditional elegance to any interior space.
