Story Behind the Art: Aubusson and Savonnerie rugs are esteemed French masterpieces, dating back to the 17th century. Originally designed for royalty and aristocratic estates, Aubusson rugs feature elegant floral compositions and pastel color schemes, woven using a flatweave needlepoint technique. In contrast, Savonnerie rugs were crafted for opulent palaces and are distinguished by their three-dimensional patterns and deep, regal color palettes. Over time, these styles merged, with Aubusson-inspired designs incorporating Savonnerie’s intricate detailing while maintaining the delicate craftsmanship of the needlepoint flatweave method. Today, these rugs remain a hallmark of European luxury and artistry.
