Story Behind the Art: From the royal halls of seventeenth-century France, Savonnerie rugs emerged as symbols of European opulence and refined artistry. Created in the famed Savonnerie Manufactory under royal patronage, these rugs were woven with lustrous wool into designs that echoed the grandeur of baroque frescoes—medallions framed by garlands, bouquets, and scrolling acanthus leaves. The technique of optical depth, developed by French artists, gave their motifs a sculpted three-dimensional effect. Today, Savonnerie and Aubusson-style rugs remain synonymous with sophistication, their ornate detailing and rich palettes continuing to grace elegant homes across the world with the same aristocratic beauty once reserved for French palaces.
