About the Item

This beautiful Chinese carpet from the Art Deco period is distinguished by its elegance and unusual style. The wool is shiny, silky, and 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 1924 a carpet factory designed for the American market, which, while maintaining some classic Chinese decorations, was characterized by their decidedly innovative style. These rugs, born from the encounter between a decidedly Chinese style and the new art of furniture so much in vogue in the West, are characterized by a renewed chromatic taste that ventures combinations of colours never proposed before. The Cascades of flowers on the bottom combined with firm tones are the main feature of this production. The decorative pattern has a symmetrical development in our carpet, and the colourful garlands seem to rotate, floating on the plain light brown bottom.

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.
