Story Behind the Art: The Savonnerie rugs of France represent one of the most prestigious weaving traditions in Europe. Originating in the Savonnerie Manufactory (1650–1685), these hand-knotted wool carpets were once reserved for royal palaces and grand estates. Distinguished by three-dimensional floral medallions, baroque scrolls, and elaborate borders, their designs combine rich blues, blacks, and browns with vivid bouquets of color. The Aubusson Savonnerie style introduced the innovative technique of depth perspective, giving motifs an illusion of dimension and sculptural beauty. Characterized by their symmetrical knots, luxurious materials, and opulent compositions, French Savonnerie rugs continue to be revered today, with skilled reproductions handcrafted in India, Pakistan, and China to preserve their majestic aesthetic.
