About the Item

1920s Antique French Savonnerie Rug Size: 13'0" x 21'6" (396 × 655 cm). This distinguished 1920s antique French Savonnerie rug exemplifies the elegance and craftsmanship synonymous with the great European weaving ateliers of the early 20th century. Rendered in a restrained yet luxurious palette of warm beige, soft gold, and muted sepia, the rug captures the classical refinement associated with Louis XV and Louis XVI-era interiors while bearing the graceful patina of time. The central medallion emerges subtly from the wool surface, revealing a delicate floral arrangement surrounded by curvilinear acanthus motifs and cartouche forms. These softly articulated patterns continue into the border, where they are framed by ornate scrollwork, rinceaux, and ribbon-like flourishes, forming a cohesive and harmonious composition that blends effortlessly into its tonal background. Woven with exceptional precision, this Savonnerie carpet displays the finesse of French neoclassical design traditions, celebrated for their sense of symmetry, balance, and ornamental fluidity. Its faded palette and washed-out appearance lend it a romantic, timeworn charm—ideal for interiors seeking understated grandeur, historical depth, or a soft tonal anchor. Timeless and tranquil, this Savonnerie rug is more than a floor covering—it is a testament to centuries of French artistic heritage and an heirloom piece worthy of admiration. 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.
