Antique French Aubusson Rug with Louis XV Savonnerie Rococo Style

About the Item

73151 Antique French Aubusson Rug with Louis XV Savonnerie Rococo Style. Flourishing in technique and trend from the middle of the 17th century for nearly two hundred years, until the early 20th century, this 1880’s Aubusson carpet is a classic example of French romanticism. Characterized by predominate French influence with its ornate florals, the intricate borders of rinceaux and winding arrangements of garnished foliage enclose this captivating work of art. The symmetrical placements of opulent frondescence around the center medallion further compliment with its ornamentation. Such works of this late Baroque era would lend rich, florid and an increasingly graceful appearance to interior design, as can be noted in the piece featured here. The embellishments alone are sufficiently captivating, but the use of color is extraordinary. The colors join to create a truly compelling dance, and inaudibly speak with a timeless voice that is characterized by sensual decadence, as well as by stately action. All facets of this piece collectively entwine to form the striking and grand charm of a textile that is worthy to depict the tender, emotive, and vibrant details of humans and histories, no longer known. Embodying a refined Savonnerie Rococo style and drawing inspiration from Louis XV, this antique Aubusson rug will enliven nearly any opulent period-interior with color and vitality. Perfect for state room, great room, private Chambers, drawing room, bedroom, front room, living room, game room, billiard room, library, music room, office, studio, study or formal sitting room. Well-suited for a variety of interior styles: French Provincial, English, Medieval, Henry VIII, French, Rococo, Louis XIV, Louis XI, Louis XV, Rococo, Chippendale, Regal, Aubusson, Baroque, Renaissance, Gustavian, Victorian, Rococo, Old World, Traditional, European, and Savonnerie inspired interiors with Gobelins or Beauvais style. Whether in a formal setting with elaborate furnishings or in an Ottoman style interior, this antique French Aubusson rug will bring vibrant life where it is displayed.

  • Antique Rugs, French Savonnerie Carpet, Beige Floral Carpet Rug
    Located in Hampshire, 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.

  • Antique Savonnerie Rug
    Located in New York, NY
    Antique Savonnerie Rug Size: 12'10" × 21'3" (391 × 647 cm) A mid 19th century Savonnerie antique rug, the finely-striped black field with an allover-design of overblown curving leaves and delicate floral sprays around a central medallion within a lush cream border with vases and flowery bouquets. The Savonnerie European Rugs factory, located on the site of the present Musee d’Art Moderne, inherited its name from the soap making factory it took over at the behest of Louis XIII. From 1660 until 1743 Savonnerie was a manufacture royale, carrying out commissions for French Savonnerie rugs and carpets specifically designed for the Royal Palaces. In the 1770’s, the tapestry looms at Aubusson in the Creuze Valley near Limoges were converted to produce flat-woven rugs for sale and carpets under royal warrant. No one knows precisely when European rugs weaving began in this area, but it is certain that tapestries were first woven there long before the Gothic era.
