About the Item
1920s Oversized French Savonnerie Rug with Olive Field and Rosette Medallion
Size: 16'3" × 21'9" (495 × 662 cm)
This exquisite oversized Savonnerie rug from 1920s France is a masterful display of classical French design interpreted through a lush, decorative lens. Woven in the historic Savonnerie tradition—originally established under Louis XIII for royal commissions—this rug showcases the refined artistry and opulence associated with 18th- and 19th-century French decorative arts.
At the heart of the composition lies an elaborate roundel medallion, radiating layers of petal-like motifs in rich shades of lavender, aubergine, blush, and cream. This central rosette blooms against a pale ivory ground encircled by a garland border, acting as a luminous focal point that commands attention without overwhelming the space.
Surrounding the central medallion is a vast olive-green field, richly embellished with scrolling acanthus leaves, laurel branches, and neoclassical floral sprays in subdued hues of celadon, rose, amethyst, and taupe. These elements are thoughtfully arranged in elegant symmetry, evoking a sense of fluid movement and grandeur.
The border is equally refined, composed of multiple decorative bands including garlands, rosettes, and scrolling foliate patterns rendered in soft pinks and greens on a pale peach backdrop. Delicate lyres—a neoclassical motif—appear at regular intervals, reinforcing the regal tone of the carpet.
Handwoven in wool, the rug’s high-quality construction and palette of softened, earthy tones make it exceptionally versatile. Despite its intricate detailing, the overall presentation feels balanced, never overly ornate. The muted elegance and considerable scale of this piece make it an ideal statement for a grand salon, dining room, or gallery-like interior.
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.
