1920's Antique Golden Spanish Savonnerie Carpet

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 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 stunning 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. The rug's predominant French influence is evident in its 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.

By Jules-Edmond-Charles Lachaise, Eugène-Pierre Gourdet
Located in Dallas, TX
74394 Late 19th Century Antique Aubusson Rug, 14'06 x 25'03. A French Aubusson rug refers to a type of flat-weave rug that originated in the town of Aubusson, located in the Creuse region of central France. These rugs have a long history dating back to the 15th century, and they are renowned for their exquisite craftsmanship, intricate designs, and fine materials. Exuding an aura of true decadence, this Late 19th Century antique French Aubusson rug emerges as a mesmerizing testament to handwoven beauty. Its intricate details and luxurious texture captivate the senses, offering a glimpse into the opulent world of Aubusson craftsmanship. At its heart lies an elaborate design reminiscent of a palatial facade. A central acanthus leaf oval ceiling medallion, outlined by complementary scrollwork, evokes romantic connotations, while an array of quincunx motifs, reminiscent of the ceiling designs by Jules-Edmond-Charles Lachaise and Eugene-Pierre Gourdet, adorn the field in an alluring pattern. 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. These design elements, customary for Aubusson arrangements, showcase the style's predominant French influence, featuring ornate armorial medallions within intricate borders of rinceaux and garnished foliage. But it is not only the embellishments that captivate; the extraordinary use of color adds depth and allure to the rug's narrative. 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.

Located in Wembley, GB
During the early seventeenth century, a weaver named Pierre DuPont travelled to the Levant. Upon his return, he claimed to have discovered the technique of creating Turkish rugs. Oriental rugs were extremely expensive during Bourbon times, and a French manufactory that could create the same type of rug would lower the price significantly. Henri VI of France–the reigning monarch at the time–took advantage of DuPont’s skills and established a workshop for him at the Louvre. In 1627, King Louis XIII founded a manufactory for DuPont and his apprentice, Simon Lourdes, on the site of a defunct soap factory in the sixteenth arrondissement (also known as Quai de Chaillot). The name “Savonnerie” was born from the French word “Savon” meaning “soap.” DuPont and Lourdes worked together, weaving rugs under a royal patent for the king and other nobles until they had a falling out and split up. Lourdes remained at the Chaillot location while DuPont went to his workshops in the Louvre, though both continued to make Savonnerie rugs.
