Green Gold 6'1''x9'1'' Traditional Aubusson Savonnerie 150 KPSI Hand Knotted Wool Oriental Area Rug

Deep green and glowing gold take center stage in this traditional Aubusson Savonnerie Oriental area rug, hand knotted from wool at 150 KPSI. At the heart of the design, a medallion in sage green and gold is sprinkled with cream flowers and pink roses. Around it, the olive field turns darker and carries wide, sweeping scrolls of gold and tan, all enclosed by a border of chain links colored tan and green. Because the gold glows so clearly against the deep green, the center stays bright and legible even from the far side of a room. Each knot is tied by hand, giving the wool a dense pile that suits households with pets and kids and holds an even surface, while peach fringe edges both ends. This handmade rug suits a living room, dining room, bedroom, entryway or home office, and brown, cream and soft pink look lovely beside it. Maintenance is easy: a low suction vacuum, with the beater bar switched off, does the job. Classic European style, a hint of rose and plenty of green make it a favorite for anyone who loves a leafy palette.

Story Behind the Art: Savonnerie rugs take their name from the celebrated Savonnerie Manufactory in France, regarded as the most prestigious maker of knotted pile rugs during its golden era between 1650 and 1685. Over time the name has come to stand for an entire French rug-making tradition, admired for luxurious texture, regal character, and intricate artistry. Typical designs set framed medallions, pictorial or armorial, among lush bouquets, leafy rinceaux, and elaborate florals, usually on rich grounds of deep blue, black, or brown and enclosed by several ornate borders. French Aubusson Savonnerie rugs are set apart by their pioneering use of depth perspective, a method devised by 17th-century French artists and weavers to give the design a three-dimensional feel. With symmetrical knots, vivid palettes, and exuberant patterns, these rugs remain enduring symbols of elegance, and today skilled reproductions made in India, Pakistan, China, and Iran let collectors and design lovers keep enjoying this classic French art form.
