Songhor
The surrounding regions of the Iranian city Songour is one of the most productive rug areas in Iran. In each of the many villages (more than 600), unique rugs in a heavy quality with colourful, charming and primitive motifs are manufactured in a variety of sizes and designs. The Hamadan area is mainly Turkmen and the rugs are hand knotted using the Turkish knotting technique, i.e. ghiordis.
