About the Item

Made with a luxurious hand-knotted wool pile, this 13x20 Antique European rug (Austrian, circa 1900) is a captivating study in subtle texture and refined tradition. Heralding from the classical Savonnerie lineage, this textile acts as a majestic bridge between the ornamental grandeur of history and the clear, tonal demands of the modern interior, making this piece an exciting centerpiece for Rug Kilim's European Collection. On the Design: This rug is a beautifully preserved meditation on the Transitional style, where the flourish of classical European design is rendered with a quiet, modern look that makes it profoundly unique. The palette is particularly soft and harmonious, showcasing richer, deeper colors in muted rose, sage green, and pale blue, woven with sophisticated tonal blending to create an effect of aged fresco or velvet patina. The entire field is a serene expanse of warm cream/beige, subtly enlivened by a scattered array of delicate floral sprays and individual blossoms that seem to drift across the surface. This open, airy approach is beautifully framed by a layered border system: an inner band with a classic Greek key motif, and a wider outer frame of elegant acanthus leaves and floral scrolls in a soft sage green. This refined composition—which speaks to antique Anatolian textiles that often inspired European workshops—is here reimagined with a painterly softness. The resulting depth and chromatic richness, combined with the plush, hand-knotted pile, transform a traditional motif into a powerful, comforting statement piece, perfect for contemporary elegance. Condition: This antique Savonnerie rug is in excellent foundational condition for a textile of its age, exhibiting soft color mellowing consistent with its history. This beautiful piece is currently undergoing expert restoration and conservation by our in-house master weaver and will be available upon completion of this process.
