About the Item

This antique, circa 1880, French Savonnerie rug features a charcoal-black field with a central panel surrounded by a bold shaded pink scrolling acanthus leaf vine forming cartouches which enclose fan-shaped shells enclosing a polychrome circular garland with a central blue shield shaped roundel, a gold centerpiece and an acanthus leaf surround, with shell-shaped cartouches issuing from each side enclosed within cusped acanthus leaves and dusty pink shield panels, above and below a broad charcoal-black panel with scrolling acanthus leaf vine issuing delicate floral bouquets and grapes around a central outlined in a gold band and enclosing a large acanthus leaf and a leafy spray, in a shaded blue ribbed outer stripe with gold spaced leaves, a blue cartouche at each corner containing a gold fleur de lys, between a dusty-pink triangular panelled inner stripe and plain outer gold and charcoal-black minor stripes. French Savonnerie rugs are luxurious handwoven carpets that originated in the 17th century, commissioned for royal palaces and aristocratic residences. Known for their elaborate floral motifs, rich colors, and intricate scrollwork, these rugs were influenced by Baroque and Rococo artistic styles. Crafted from fine wool, Savonnerie rugs showcase exceptional craftsmanship, often featuring central medallions, ornate borders, and a sense of grandeur that reflects their royal heritage.
