Story Behind the Art: The weaving traditions of Aubusson and Savonnerie rugs trace their roots to 17th- and 18th-century France, when they were crafted for royalty and aristocratic salons. Aubusson needlepoint rugs, typically flatwoven, are celebrated for their pastel palettes, floral medallions, and ornate scrollwork. Savonnerie rugs, by contrast, are knotted pile carpets renowned for their rich textures, depth-perspective artistry, and exuberant bouquets or armorial medallions. Originally produced in the royal Savonnerie Manufactory, these rugs symbolized prestige and luxury. In the modern era, skilled workshops in India, Pakistan, China, and Iran continue to produce Aubusson and Savonnerie designs, ensuring these timeless European styles remain accessible while retaining their classical elegance.
