About the Item
Antique French Savonnerie Wool Rug Doris Leslie Blau
Size: 13'2" × 25'4" (401 × 772 cm)
An exquisite example of 19th-century French textile artistry, this Antique Savonnerie rug, crafted circa 1880, showcases the opulence and refined craftsmanship synonymous with the Savonnerie manufactory tradition. Measuring an impressive 25' x 12', the rug embodies the grandeur typical of the Louis XV and Louis XVI periods, echoing the regal aesthetics once favored in royal French residences and palaces.
The rug features a masterful oval medallion layout at its center, framed by an elaborate series of foliate scrolls and floral garlands. Set against a rich midnight navy ground, the central field is animated with gracefully arranged acanthus leaves, rosettes, and garlanded bouquets, woven in soft pinks, sage greens, creams, and gilded ochres. These elegant tones are seamlessly integrated with delicate shading, giving a painterly quality to the motifs.
Each corner is adorned with medallions enclosing lush floral arrangements, framed by rococo-style scrollwork and set within a warm mauve-toned field. The border is delineated with classical curves, accentuated by floral festoons, ribbons, and foliage, echoing the decorative richness of 18th-century French interiors.
Woven from the finest wool, the rug boasts a dense, velvety pile, known for both its durability and luxurious feel underfoot. The high knot density contributes to the crisp clarity of its intricate motifs. The overall craftsmanship is consistent with the Savonnerie legacy, which originated under royal commission and has since come to symbolize French elegance and decorative sophistication.
Despite its age, the rug remains in remarkably good condition, with some age-appropriate patina and natural softening of colors enhancing its antique charm. The surface displays the hand-knotted texture characteristic of 19th-century French weaving, and any minor wear simply adds to its authenticity and depth.
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.
