Ivory Taupe 8'9''x11'9'' Traditional Aubusson Savonnerie Hand Knotted Wool Oriental Area Rug

Rich green, graceful florals and a classic European air define this Ivory Taupe Traditional Aubusson Savonnerie Hand Knotted Wool Oriental Area Rug. Climbing sprays of rust, gold and blue flowers rise from the corners of the deep green ground, and their leaves and blossoms unfurl in an open, easy rhythm. The center stays plain and calm, while a slender gold line traces the edge of the design. Ivory and taupe undertones soften the palette, and cream fringe trims both ends. Artisans in China hand knotted the wool, shaping a smooth, sculpted pile that gives the florals a gentle relief you can feel. Use it to bring elegance to a living room, add polish to a dining room, set a refined tone in a bedroom, or dress up an entryway or home office. As a Savonnerie style piece it pairs traditional flowers with a dark green field, and its measured composition keeps a room feeling composed, gracious and welcoming for everyday living. Its deep color and open floral drawing make the floor feel intentional, refined and wonderfully inviting to walk across.

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.
