Early 19th Century French Savonnerie Carpet from Empire Period (8' x 13' 6" - 243 x 412 cm) This outstanding antique French Empire period Savonnerie carpet, likely from the 1820s, is a luxurious example of early 19th-century court weaving, renowned for its dense pile and formal design aesthetic. Originating from the state-sponsored manufactories in France, such as those that eventually merged with the Gobelins workshops, these carpets were the pinnacle of European textile production, often commissioned for palaces and used as diplomatic gifts. The carpet features a field filled with an array of naturalistic floral bouquets and stylized garlands. This "all-over" botanical pattern, in contrast to the single large central medallions of earlier or stricter Neoclassical styles, creates an abundant, almost garden-like feel. The design maintains a balanced, formal symmetry that is a hallmark of French court style. The rug's palette is defined by a deep, rich olive green ground color, which provides a striking backdrop for the soft, muted tones of the flowers in shades of ivory, pink, and subtle gold or rust accents. The dyes have likely softened over decades, achieving a desirable patina characteristic of genuine antiques. It is a hand-knotted pile carpet, typically woven with the durable Ghiordes (Turkish) knot using high-quality wool on a strong foundation. This technique results in a plush, velvety surface and substantial feel underfoot, differentiating it from flat-woven Aubusson rugs...
