Story Behind the Art: Savonnerie rugs originated from the acclaimed French Savonnerie workshops, which dominated luxury rug production between 1650 and 1685. Over time, the term evolved to represent an entire category of French classical rugs recognized for opulent textures, vivid tones, and majestic ornamentation. The format typically includes detailed medallions surrounded by bouquets, rinceaux patterns, leaf scrolls, and heavily layered borders. These designs pioneered the use of artistic depth to give woven scenes a painterly, dimensional quality. Today’s artisans across Iran, India, China, and Pakistan continue to produce exquisite Savonnerie-inspired rugs, keeping this royal legacy alive within modern interiors.
