About the Item

The French factory in Aubusson is famous both for the production of wall tapestries and for the weaving of beautiful floor rugs. Both of these textiles, always of high quality, were destined to complete the sumptuous furnishings of villas and palaces of the Parisian aristocracy. As with tapestries, rug cartoons were also designed by the best artists of the time, according to the dictates of the most fashionable style of the moment. The specimen we propose is from the beginning of the twentieth century and is characterized above all by the particularly soft colors. The design proposes the style imposed with Napoleon III, but the pastel shades certainly fit better in the middle-class houses of good French society.

20th Century, Brown and Floreal Motifs Savonerie French Rug, ca 1920

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.
