About the Item

77421 Antique Spanish Savonnerie Rug, 09'01 x 11'11. Antique Spanish Savonnerie rugs are luxurious, high-quality wool carpets inspired by the French Savonnerie style but infused with unique Spanish influences. These exquisite rugs, known for their dense, full pile, feature intricate floral patterns, medallions, and Baroque or Rococo elements. Their rich and varied color palette prominently includes golden hues, achieved through an antique-wash technique that softens the fibers and gives the rug a beautifully aged patina. The antique-wash process enhances the rug's appearance by subtly fading the colors, resulting in a harmonious and mellow look. Valued for their historical significance, intricate craftsmanship, and aesthetic appeal, genuine antique Spanish Savonnerie rugs are prized collector's items. Rugs with a well-preserved, full pile and vibrant yet softened colors are particularly sought after. The golden hues add a touch of opulence and warmth, making these rugs standout pieces that bring elegance and historical charm to any space. Regal and refined, this precious hand-knotted wool Spanish Savonnerie rug beautifully embodies the opulent aesthetic of Louis XIV. The rug's central oval medallion is adorned with stylized florals, vinery, and intricate trompe l'oeil filigree, capturing the essence of royal elegance. Each corner of the rinceaux acanthus border is graced with four circular roundel ceiling tiles, delicately embellished with French ribbons, adding a touch of classic sophistication. This majestic work of art and its predominant French influence is evident in the ornate floral motifs and intricate borders. The rinceaux and acanthus vines, along with the winding arrangements of garnished foliage, create a harmonious and captivating design. These elements are meticulously woven to enhance the rug's luxurious appeal, making it a true masterpiece of textile artistry. Together, these facets entwine to form a striking and grand piece that evokes the tender, emotive, and vibrant details of bygone eras. This antique Spanish Savonnerie rug is more than a decorative item; it is a testament to the rich history and artistic legacy of its time, worthy of admiration and reverence. Its enchanting charm and historical significance make it a treasured addition to any collection, capturing the timeless beauty of human craftsmanship and heritage.

Trompe l'oeil filigree adorns a delicate light pink oval band encircling the inner composition, where a rose festoon intertwines with a floral swag, adding a touch of delicate elegance. Resplendent round cartouche pendants dangle from an undulating ribbon band entwined with floral swag borders, further enhancing the rug's grandeur. This antique Aubusson rug is enclosed by an acanthus ribbon border, coupled with an outer scallop border, creating a refined frame for its formal composition.

Each hue harmonizes with the next, creating a mesmerizing dance that speaks with a timeless voice of sensual decadence and stately elegance. In its entirety, this Aubusson masterpiece weaves together the tender, emotive, and vibrant details of human history, embodying the grand charm of a textile that transcends time, leaving an indelible mark on those who behold its beauty.
