Story Behind the Art: Originating from French pile floor coverings, Savonnerie rugs have their roots in the Savonnerie Manufactory, the premier producer of knotted pile rugs, notably active between 1650 and 1685. These rugs, known for their essentially French designs, often feature pictorial or armorial framed medallions, richly packed floral arrangements, or leafy rinceaux against deep blue, black, or deep brown backgrounds, enclosed within multiple borders.
