Story Behind the Art: Savonnerie rugs trace their heritage to the famed Savonnerie Manufactory in France, which flourished between 1650 and 1685. Known for their sumptuous textures and regal artistry, these rugs often display framed medallions, lush bouquets, rinceaux, and ornate floral motifs against rich blue, black, or brown fields. Aubusson-Savonnerie designs pioneered the use of depth perspective, creating a three-dimensional effect that set them apart in the 17th century. With vivid colors, symmetrical knotting, and refined detailing, they remain timeless emblems of French luxury. Today, reproductions from India, Pakistan, China, and Iran keep this legacy alive for collectors worldwide.
