Story Behind the Art: Savonnerie rugs have their roots in the renowned Savonnerie Manufactory in France, which was the dominant producer of knotted pile rugs during the 17th century. These rugs are famous for their lavish textures, intricate artistry, and regal motifs, often featuring framed medallions surrounded by lush floral arrangements. A hallmark of these rugs is their use of depth perspective, a technique pioneered in France during the 17th century to give the designs a three-dimensional feel. Savonnerie rugs remain a symbol of French elegance, and skilled reproductions continue to be made today in India, Pakistan, China, and Iran, ensuring that the legacy of these exquisite rugs lives on.
