Story Behind the Art: The Savonnerie rug tradition traces back to the renowned Savonnerie Manufactory in France, celebrated from 1650 to 1685 for producing exquisite hand-knotted pile carpets. Distinguished by their French elegance, these rugs often showcase framed medallions, royal emblems, and abundant floral garlands woven in deep hues of blue, black, or brown. What defines Aubusson and Savonnerie rugs is their masterful illusion of depth—a perspective technique pioneered by 17th-century French artisans to create three-dimensional designs. These rugs, famed for their symmetry, vivid palettes, and elaborate motifs, embody centuries of refinement. Today, reproductions woven in India, Pakistan, and China continue the Savonnerie legacy, bringing timeless European luxury to modern interiors.
