Story Behind the Art: The legacy of Savonnerie rugs traces back to 17th-century France, when the Savonnerie Manufactory near Paris produced the world’s most prestigious hand-knotted carpets. Commissioned for royal palaces, these rugs became synonymous with French luxury and artistry. Distinguished by three-dimensional floral medallions, baroque scrolls, and ornate armorial motifs, they often feature rich backgrounds of deep blue, black, or chocolate brown framed by multiple borders. What truly defines the Aubusson Savonnerie aesthetic is its use of depth perspective—a revolutionary technique developed by 17th-century French artists to create illusionistic dimension. Today, these magnificent rugs continue to be replicated by skilled weavers in India, Pakistan, and China, allowing collectors to experience the enduring grandeur of French neoclassical design in modern form.
