Story Behind the Art: Originating from the prestigious Savonnerie Manufactory in France between 1650 and 1685, French Aubusson Savonnerie rugs are celebrated for their luxurious textures, intricate artistry, and regal aesthetics. They are characterized by central framed medallions, often pictorial or armorial, surrounded by lush floral bouquets, leafy rinceaux, and multiple ornate borders. A hallmark of these rugs is the use of depth perspective, a technique pioneered by 17th-century French artists to give designs a three-dimensional appearance. Symmetrical knots, vibrant color palettes, and elaborate patterns create a sense of timeless sophistication. Today, these rugs are reproduced in India, Pakistan, China, and Iran, allowing collectors and interior design enthusiasts to enjoy this classic French art form, complete with all its historical richness, visual intricacy, and elegant hand-knotted craftsmanship.
