About the Item
Exquisite 19th Century French Savonnerie Rug Doris Leslie Blau
Size: 14'10" × 17'2" (452 × 523 cm)
This magnificent French Savonnerie rug from the early 19th century embodies the regal elegance and artistic sophistication for which Savonnerie carpets are world-renowned. Woven circa 1800, this large-scale masterpiece (approximately 17’ x 20’) showcases a stunning medallion-centered layout, emblematic of Louis XVI decorative tastes.
The rug’s central field is adorned with a radiant floral rosette enclosed within an eight-pointed medallion composed of stylized architectural motifs. Rich terracotta, deep celadon, and gentle sky blues harmonize against a warm ivory ground, creating a refined palette that accentuates the classical botanical ornamentation.
Elegant cartouches, scrolling acanthus leaves, and festoons of roses and peonies embellish each quadrant, providing visual rhythm and balance. A wide border, featuring a scrolling meander motif interspersed with blooming florals on a deep navy ground, frames the piece with bold contrast and courtly charm.
Entirely hand-knotted in wool, this Savonnerie carpet boasts a soft yet durable texture, testament to its exceptional craftsmanship. Its refined coloration and symmetrical composition evoke the opulence of French royal interiors, making it a rare and prestigious acquisition for collectors and connoisseurs alike.
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.
