About the Item
Exquisite 1920s French Savonnerie Rug in Neoclassical Style
Size: 14'10" × 20'0" (452 × 609 cm)
A masterful example of French decorative arts, this large vintage Savonnerie rug from the 1920s radiates refined Neoclassical elegance with its softly faded palette and harmonious symmetry. Woven from high-quality wool, the piece showcases the artisanal expertise associated with the historic Savonnerie weaving tradition, once reserved for French nobility and royal commissions.
The oval medallion design anchors the composition, drawing the eye to the center where delicate floral and scroll motifs emanate outward in gently graduated tones of soft blush, dusty rose, faded peach, celadon green, ivory, and muted lavender. The medallion is framed by concentric ovals of stylized botanical garlands, acanthus leaves, and intricate corner spandrels, each rendered with painterly finesse.
What makes this rug truly remarkable is its serene and nuanced color palette. Time has mellowed the tones to a pastel-like luminosity, enhancing the antique charm and lending the rug an ethereal quality. The elegant scrolling foliage and tulip motifs in the border exhibit the classical balance and grace of 18th-century French interior design, subtly reinterpreted through an early 20th-century lens.
Measuring generously, this rug is ideal for grand interiors or as a statement piece in a sophisticated setting. Its age-softened appearance, artisanal texture, and decorative prowess make it not only a collector’s piece but also a timeless addition to contemporary or traditional spaces.
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.
