About the Item
Antique French Savonnerie Rug
Size: 24'0" × 29'10" (731 × 909 cm)
This magnificent antique French Savonnerie rug from the early 1900s is a breathtaking example of classical European elegance and craftsmanship. Measuring an impressive, the rug reflects the opulence and symmetry typical of the Savonnerie tradition, historically tied to royal commissions and the grandeur of French aristocracy.
The central field features a large elliptical medallion with a stylized floral rosette at its heart, encircled by a refined scalloped pattern. The composition is meticulously balanced with four matching medallions placed at the cardinal points around the center, interconnected by delicate floral garlands and trailing vines—subtly accented with soft blue petals and ochre stems.
The palette is notably refined: soft beige dominates, providing a subdued, almost ethereal foundation upon which the gentle rose, sienna, and sky-blue detailing lightly rest. This muted coloration emphasizes texture and form over contrast, giving the rug a stately, almost neoclassical character.
The borders are equally lavish. A wide band adorned with Grecian key motifs, urns, scrolls, and draped garlands frames the field in sophisticated symmetry. Stylized amphorae appear in mirrored pairs, each joined by garlands and vines—a nod to classical ornamentation. The corner spandrels are cut at an angle, forming an elegant octagonal silhouette that reinforces the rug’s formal balance and compositional unity.
Crafted in wool with a dense, velvety pile, the rug is a testament to the enduring artistry of Savonnerie weaving. The intricate high-low carving and subtle shading techniques employed give depth and dimensionality to the motifs, offering visual richness without overwhelming the senses.
Ideal for a grand salon, gallery, or formal reception room, this French Savonnerie masterpiece offers timeless sophistication and historical grandeur—an heirloom-quality rug designed to transform any space into a refined showcase of classical design.
Rich in heritage and artistry, this handmade rug exemplifies the high standards of Doris Leslie Blau’s curated pieces. With a wide range of prices, Doris Leslie Blau makes exceptional rugs accessible to collectors and designers alike.
