Savonnerie rugs originated from the prestigious Savonnerie Manufactory in France, which was the leading producer of knotted pile rugs between 1650 and 1685. Over time, the name "Savonnerie" has come to represent a luxurious style of French rug-making known for its rich textures, ornate details, and regal charm. These rugs are typically designed with central medallions—either pictorial or heraldic—surrounded by lush floral arrangements, leafy scrolls (rinceaux), and elaborate borders. Commonly set against deep tones like navy, black, or brown, they showcase vivid colors and intricate symmetry. A defining feature of French Aubusson Savonnerie rugs is their early use of depth and perspective, a technique introduced by 17th-century French artists to create a three-dimensional visual effect. Today, their legacy continues through masterfully crafted reproductions in countries like India, Pakistan, China, and Iran, allowing modern collectors and designers to enjoy this classic French art form.
