About the Item
1920s Antique French Savonnerie Rug with Pastel Rococo Elegance
Size: 20'9" × 21'4" (632 × 650 cm)
Evoking the opulent charm of early 20th-century French design, this exquisite antique Savonnerie rug, dating to the 1920s, captures the refined aesthetic of the Rococo Revival period. Woven in wool and masterfully composed in a soft palette of powder blue, pale lavender, creamy ivory, and delicate rose, the carpet presents an ethereal presence reminiscent of the decorative splendor found in French palatial interiors.
The design features an intricate architectural framework adorned with scrolling acanthus vines, floral garlands, and classical motifs rendered in a painterly manner. A central cartouche, though softened by age, appears surrounded by delicate wreaths and floral sprigs, while the borders are embellished with festoons and ornamental detailing that seamlessly frame the composition. The worn patina and gentle fading of the colors only enhance its romantic allure, testifying to its authenticity and decades of graceful aging.
Savonnerie rugs like this one were originally commissioned for the French aristocracy and royal residences, prized for their luxurious textures and elegant designs. This particular example embodies the transitional spirit of the early 20th century—honoring the grandeur of the past while embracing a lighter, more poetic interpretation of classical motifs.
A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection, this rug exemplifies superior artistry and tradition. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
