Story Behind the Art:The legacy of Savonnerie rugs dates back to the Savonnerie Manufactory of France (1650–1685), a royal workshop that defined the golden age of European carpet weaving. Renowned for its luxurious pile, baroque ornamentation, and opulent color palettes, Savonnerie became synonymous with French elegance. These rugs often display armorial or pictorial medallions surrounded by lush bouquets, scrolling rinceaux, and layered floral frames, rendered in deep blues, blacks, and browns. What distinguishes Aubusson Savonnerie rugs is their pioneering use of depth perspective, a 17th-century artistic technique that adds three-dimensional richness to flat textiles. Characterized by symmetrical knots, vivid tones, and grand design flourishes, Savonnerie rugs remain emblems of classical European taste. Today, skilled artisans in India, Pakistan, China, and Iran continue this legacy, producing faithful reproductions that honor the tradition’s grandeur and refinement.
