Antique Savonnerie French Art Deco Rug, Salmon with Florals - Rug & Kilim

About the Item

Made with hand-knotted wool and velvet, this 12x13 antique Savonnerie rug represents an extraordinary addition to Rug & Kilim's European collection—an exquisite example of French decorative arts that brilliantly bridges classical and Art Deco sensibilities. On the Design: This antique European exemplar showcases the evolution of the celebrated Savonnerie tradition, featuring an octagonal central field filled with delicate floral rosettes arranged in a refined allover pattern against a subtle ivory ground. This central panel is framed by a rich auburn transitional border that creates remarkable depth and dimensional interest in the overall design. The colorway demonstrates exceptional refinement, employing a palette that harmonizes delicate pastels with rich complementary tones. The ivory central field provides an elegant canvas for the intricate floral patterns, while the surrounding borders create a thoughtful progression of colors—transitioning from the rich auburn inner border to a spectacular floral garland against a pale blue ground, all contained within a final rose-pink outer border. What distinguishes this exceptional piece is its seamless integration of classical Savonnerie design principles with Art Deco sensibilities evident in the geometric precision of the octagonal medallion and the stylized approach to the floral elements. The border, with its exuberant floral garland, creates a frame of extraordinary sophistication that perfectly balances the more controlled central field without competing with it. This rug represents a pivotal moment in European decorative arts when traditional motifs were being reinterpreted through a more modern aesthetic lens. Its impressive scale and exceptional condition make it a significant historical design capable of defining an interior space through its presence. Condition: This antique Savonnerie rug further enjoys an overall good condition for its age and origin, with some mild wear consistent with its age and provenance.
