Story Behind the Art: Savonnerie rugs draw their heritage from France’s renowned Savonnerie Manufactory, which led European carpet production during its golden period between 1650 and 1685. These rugs are defined by richly colored grounds, ornate multi-layered borders, abundant floral bouquets, and pictorial or armorial medallions. Their pioneering use of artistic depth, developed by France’s master designers, brought a new dimension to rug artistry. Today’s skilled craftspeople in countries such as India, Pakistan, China, and Iran continue to replicate the grandeur and refinement of historic Savonnerie carpets, ensuring that their royal aesthetic remains influential in luxury interior design.
