About the Item

This beautiful Chinese carpet from the Art Deco period is distinguished by its elegance and unusual style. The wool is shiny and silky, spun with greater thickness than normal Chinese wool. This type of carpet was born around the 20s on the initiative of Walter Nichols, an American merchant who, having moved to China, opened in 1924 a carpet factory, designed for the American market, which while maintaining some classic Chinese decorations, were characterized by their decidedly innovative style. These rugs are born from the encounter between a decidedly Chinese style and the new art of furniture, so much in vogue in the West. The decoration of our specimen is characterized by 4 vases at the corners, two with compositions of flowers and two that emit incense. The large central field is deliberately left empty to be the background to the furniture. The border is formed with a rich garland of flowers seamlessly. The colors are particularly delicate and suitable for a romantic setting.

20th Century, Brown and Floreal Motifs Savonerie French Rug, ca 1920
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. They were manufactories created specifically to produce large carpets intended for sumptuous noble palaces. Since the end of the 19th century many manufactories have also begun to produce carpets of different sizes, always with a decoration dictated by a Western style furniture...
