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.
