Songhor Persian Rugs
This exceptional semi antique Songhor Persian rug measuring 9'10" x 5'1" embodies the masterful weaving traditions of Kermanshah province, where skilled artisans have been creating these geometric treasures for generations. The rich madder red field provides a stunning backdrop for the intricate medallion (Toranj) centerpiece, which is beautifully complemented by navy blue, black, and cream accents that create a sophisticated color harmony. This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece elevates any living space with its authentic Persian artistry and enduring craftsmanship.
The Songhor weaving region, nestled in the Kermanshah province of western Persia, has been renowned for producing rugs with distinctive geometric patterns and exceptional durability for over two centuries. These weavers developed their own unique interpretation of classical Persian designs, incorporating bold geometric medallions with precise angular motifs that reflect the nomadic heritage of the area. The semi antique age of 40-60 years has allowed this rug to develop the perfect patina and character that comes only with time and gentle use.
The central medallion design represents the cosmic order and eternal unity in Persian culture, while the geometric border patterns symbolize protection and continuity. The warm madder red serves as the primary color, derived from the roots of the madder plant, creating the deep, lustrous tone that Persian rugs are celebrated for. The navy blue and black details provide striking contrast, while touches of cream, brown, camel, and rust red add depth and complexity to the overall composition.
At 9'10" x 5'1" feet, this Songhor rug is perfectly sized for dining rooms, home offices, or as an elegant accent beneath a coffee table in a living room setting. The symmetrical Ghiordes knots and 100% natural wool construction ensure longevity, while the cotton foundation provides stability and structure. Los Angeles Home of Rugs is proud to offer this authentic piece that brings the timeless beauty of Persian weaving into modern homes with its versatile size and sophisticated color palette.
