About the Item

This antique, circa 1860, French Savonnerie rug has a soft chocolate-brown field with an outer sandy-yellow frame panel issuing inward brick-red acanthus leaves containing a shell motif and paired light blue acanthus leaves around a large central floral roundel with an outer floral garland enclosing a central lozenge medallion with acanthus leaves surrounded by four large cusped acanthus leaf cartouches each with a shell motif, in a border of light blue and sea-blue rope motif with acanthus leaf ties linking in each corner a fleur de lys, outer plain sea-blue stripe. French Savonnerie rugs are luxurious handwoven carpets that were originally commissioned for royal palaces and aristocratic residences. Known for their elaborate floral motifs, rich colors, and intricate scrollwork, these rugs were influenced by Baroque and Rococo artistic styles. Crafted from fine wool, Savonnerie rugs showcase exceptional craftsmanship, often featuring central medallions, ornate borders, and a sense of grandeur that reflects their royal heritage.
