About the Item
Antique French Savonnerie Wool Rug
Size: 10'0" × 11'4" (304 × 345 cm)
This exquisite 19th-century French Savonnerie rug is a superb example of the opulence and artistry synonymous with the Savonnerie tradition. Woven around the 1880s, it reflects the grandeur of classical European design, blending Baroque and Rococo influences with meticulous craftsmanship.
At the heart of the composition lies a striking circular medallion adorned with acanthus leaf flourishes and rosettes, framed by ornate paisley-like scrolls in rich tones of coral, gold, and mauve. This dynamic central motif is enclosed within a field of warm beige, offering a serene balance to the intense detailing.
The field transitions into a richly decorated border that is emblematic of Louis XIV-inspired architectural elements—fluted motifs, foliate scrolls, and a striking frame of interlocking S-curve flourishes in tones of navy, salmon, ochre, and lavender. The corner spandrels mimic the central medallion’s motifs, echoing the classical symmetry that defines French decorative arts.
The color palette, while bold, is artfully muted by age, resulting in a soft patina that enhances the rug’s antique charm. Subtle abrash and pile wear lend authenticity and a tactile history to the piece.
Crafted entirely from wool with a plush hand-knotted surface, this rug was likely a custom commission for a grand European interior. Its exceptional detail and balanced composition exemplify the technical and artistic standards of Savonnerie workshops, once reserved for royal patronage.
This rug would make a stunning statement in a formal living room, library, or gallery setting—an heirloom-quality textile with timeless elegance.
A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection, this rug exemplifies superior artistry and tradition. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
