About the Item
Antique French Savonnerie Carpet (fragment)
Size: 8'7" × 11'9" (261 × 358 cm)
This elegant 19th-century French Savonnerie carpet, dating from circa 1820, is a remarkable example of refined European craftsmanship, presenting a botanical theme infused with classical French design sensibilities. Handwoven with extraordinary precision, this antique rug is framed by a decorative border of stylized floral medallions in rose and blue cartouches, lending a sense of structure and grandeur to the flowing, naturalistic interior.
The field of the carpet features a luxuriant cascade of vibrant flowers, rendered in a painterly palette of coral, blush pink, cornflower blue, and verdant greens. Twisting golden acanthus scrolls emerge from four corners, framing woven baskets overflowing with lush floral arrangements—an emblematic motif of the Savonnerie tradition. These elaborate arabesques form cartouche-like enclosures that evoke neoclassical elegance and anchor the otherwise free-flowing floral background.
Despite its age, the carpet retains an impressive clarity of design and coloration. The graceful interplay between architectural structure and organic flourishes is typical of early 19th-century French decorative arts, where royal commissions and aristocratic interiors demanded a synthesis of opulence and taste.
Woven during the post-Napoleonic period, this Savonnerie rug likely once adorned a grand salon or formal reception room, reflecting the affluence and aesthetic refinement of its original setting. It stands as a testament to the enduring artistry of the French Savonnerie workshops, founded in the 17th century under royal patronage.
Showcasing the finest materials and patterns, this design is part of the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, renowned for its rare and unique finds across a wide range of prices.
