About the Item
Oversized Antique Spanish Savonnerie Rug
Size: 14'8" × 22'0" (447 × 670 cm)
This exquisite oversized Spanish Savonnerie rug from the 1920s is a masterclass in aristocratic elegance and refined European craftsmanship. Rich in neoclassical ornamentation, the design exhibits an opulent French-inspired aesthetic—a hallmark of the Savonnerie tradition—but uniquely interpreted through the lens of Spanish artistic sensibilities.
At its heart, the rug features a large circular medallion in a subdued ivory tone with subtle gray floral detailing, encircled by an olive and gold laurel wreath. This central motif rests on a warm rose-pink field adorned with a delicate garland of olive-toned leafy sprays and whimsical blue and white ribbon accents, creating a sense of soft movement and harmony.
The wide border framing the rug is particularly striking. A deep terracotta orange ground is overlaid with acanthus scrolls, anthemion leaves, and elaborate neoclassical flourishes in creamy gold and ecru. Notably, each corner of the border contains a stylized lyre motif enclosed in a laurel crown—evoking themes of music, classicism, and courtly grandeur. Additional botanical medallions are placed at regular intervals along the sides, echoing the regal orderliness found in traditional French design.
The palette is a sophisticated blend of dusty rose, antique gold, moss green, warm ochre, ivory, and pale blue—all achieved through masterful dyeing techniques that have gracefully aged over time. These rich tones are further highlighted by the plush, velvety wool pile and impeccable hand-weaving, both of which contribute to the rug’s remarkable textural depth.
A truly magnificent floor covering, this antique Savonnerie rug is not just a decorative object but a piece of European art history. Ideal for a grand interior, it offers timeless elegance, palatial scale, and exceptional craftsmanship.
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.
