About the Item
Antique French Savonnerie Rug (size adjusted)
Size: 5'0" × 8'6" (152 × 259 cm)
This exquisite antique Savonnerie rug, dating from the 1920s, beautifully exemplifies the grandeur and decorative richness associated with classical French weaving traditions. Inspired by the opulence of 17th and 18th-century court taste, this handwoven masterpiece is an elegant celebration of florid Baroque ornamentation adapted for modern interiors through a finely balanced color palette and meticulous craftsmanship.
Set against a dramatic black ground, the field bursts to life with a profusion of naturalistic florals and swirling acanthus scrolls in soft, harmonious hues of blush pink, celadon green, daffodil yellow, and cornflower blue. The densely packed floral motifs — featuring roses, tulips, chrysanthemums, and other blossoms — are arranged in a symmetrical yet flowing layout, creating a sense of organic movement and ornamental rhythm. These lush elements are rendered with painterly precision, giving the composition a lively and dimensional character.
Encasing the exuberant field is a bold classical border composed of stylized anthemion and scrollwork in golden ochre and cerulean, lending architectural structure and contrast to the composition. The border's striking geometry offers a visual counterpoint to the organic dynamism of the interior, a hallmark of traditional Savonnerie design.
Woven from high-quality wool, the rug displays a luxurious, velvety pile and superb color retention. Despite its age, it remains in excellent condition, a testament to the exceptional skill of the French ateliers that produced it.
This piece is a refined example of French decorative art, perfect for those seeking a statement textile that balances historical elegance with timeless beauty. Ideal for classic, transitional, or even eclectic interiors, this antique Savonnerie rug brings the opulence of Versailles into the heart of any space.
Rich in heritage and artistry, this handmade rug exemplifies the high standards of Doris Leslie Blau’s curated pieces. With a wide range of prices, Doris Leslie Blau makes exceptional rugs accessible to collectors and designers alike.
