About the Item
The French manufacture of the Savonnerie was the most prestigious European manufacturer of pile-knotted carpets. The manufacture originated in a carpet factory created in a disused soap (in French savon) factory on the Quai de Chaillot in Paris in 1615 by Pierre DuPont who had returned from Constantinople. The name of the manufactory, by commercial custom, is applied to knotted carpets from other European manufactures, the most famous being undoubtedly the Spanish manufactory, which made even huge carpets for the Royal House. The decorations were greatly inspired by French production; the symmetrical knot tying technique was the same. The decor traced the predominant style in the furnishings of the various historical periods. The Savonnerie we present has a Louis XV style, and the dark brown color of the background accentuates its sumptuousness. A showy rug, but also very elegant, capable of making any room important.

Located in Firenze, IT
The term Savonerie identifies a series of carpets knotted with Turkish knot and adorned with floral designs, made in Europe in various manufactories. The most famous and the one that gives the name to these carpets was settled in Paris in an ancient soap factory. Its foundation was an attempt by France in the seventeenth century to reproduce the expensive oriental carpets, but the main feature of these carpets is the Western style decor, which introduced an absolute novelty in the furnishings of the time. The productions of Savonerie over the years have become multiple, the most popular in addition to the French are the Spanish and Austrian.
