About the Item

This antique 7x9 French Savonnerie rug is a highly unique and compelling new collectible in Rug Kilim's rare European curations. Hand-knotted in lush wool, it originates circa 1910-1920. Indicative of a transitional period, this exceptional piece marries the grand traditions of Savonnerie artistry with a nascent Art Deco influence, offering sophisticated color and texture in a cherished European provenance. On the Design: This magnificent textile is a dream woven in plush wool, embodying a pivotal moment in French design history where the lavish spirit of the 18th-century court paused to greet the clean, moderne lines of the new era. Savonnerie carpets are revered for their achievement of complex, regal patterns in a lush, cozy pile, a tactile luxury that makes this piece, found in such fine condition, a truly profound discovery. The design structure is a lyrical marriage of opposing forces: the grand, central oval medallion anchors the composition, yet its interior reveals a subtle geometric cross-hatch—the quiet geometry that whispers of Art Deco's impending arrival. This medallion is encircled by a magnificent, blooming garland of blush-pink and coral roses, an echo of classical romance and eternal elegance. The surrounding field is a soothing dusty sky blue, from which stylized foliage and scrolling vines emerge in painterly tones of pale sage and rose-taupe, creating an ethereal, visual canopy. This graceful fusion of medallion grandeur and refined, sophisticated color results in a piece that is as deeply personal and romantic as it is historically forward-looking. Condition: This Spanish Savonnerie rug further enjoys a rare good condition for its age and origin.
