Story Behind the Art: Savonnerie rugs trace their origins to the prestigious Savonnerie Manufactory in France, which flourished between 1650 and 1685 as a leading producer of knotted pile carpets. These rugs are distinguished by their French design language, featuring ornate medallions, armorial motifs, and densely arranged floral bouquets set against deep grounds of blue, black, or brown. A defining characteristic is the use of depth perspective, a seventeenth-century innovation that creates a three-dimensional visual effect. Today, Aubusson Savonnerie rugs are admired for their symmetry, complexity, and grandeur, and continue to be produced in India, Pakistan, and China.
