Songhor Persian Rugs
This exquisite semi antique Songhor Persian rug measuring 6'7" x 4'7" showcases the masterful artistry of Kermanshah province weavers, displaying a sophisticated diamond lattice pattern rendered in a harmonious palette of cream, madder red, and navy blue accents. The geometric medallion design features intricate toranj motifs that have been carefully hand-knotted using traditional symmetrical Ghiordes knots, creating a textile masterpiece that has gracefully aged over four to six decades to develop its distinctive patina and character.
The Songhor weaving tradition originates from the historic city of Kermanshah in western Persia, where skilled artisans have practiced their craft for centuries along ancient trade routes. This particular region became renowned for producing rugs that combined the geometric precision of tribal designs with the sophisticated color palettes favored by urban markets, resulting in pieces that bridged nomadic heritage with refined Persian aesthetics. The weavers of this area developed distinctive techniques for achieving the complex diamond lattice patterns that characterize authentic Songhor carpets.
The diamond lattice motif represents protection and continuity in Persian symbolism, while the geometric medallions serve as focal points that draw the eye inward toward the rug's spiritual center. The cream foundation provides a luminous backdrop that allows the madder red diamonds to create dramatic visual impact, while navy blue details add depth and sophistication to the overall composition. Complementary tones of camel, brown, burgundy, rust red, ivory, black, and ochre create subtle variations that prevent the geometric pattern from appearing too rigid or mechanical.
This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece elevates any interior space with its perfect balance of traditional Persian craftsmanship and timeless geometric beauty. The 6'7" x 4'7" foot dimensions make it an ideal choice for dining rooms, bedroom focal areas, or as a sophisticated accent in living spaces where it can anchor furniture groupings without overwhelming the room. Los Angeles Home of Rugs is proud to offer this authentic Songhor treasure, complete with natural wool and cotton construction that ensures decades of enduring beauty and comfort underfoot.
