Made with hand-knotted wool and originating in mid-century Spain, this 15x37 vintage Savonnerie rug is a rare masterpiece from Rug & Kilim’s European rug collection—an extremely collectible oversized rug, among the precious few curations today believed to hail from “The Real Fábrica de Tapices” (Royal Tapestry Factory) in Madrid, circa 1960-1970. On the Design: Admirers of the craft will particularly note this rug’s outstanding size—an oversized piece and extra-long runner alike, among few if any of its extraordinary achievement known today. Its design further embodies the grandiose sensibility of the titular European style with its elaborate geometric medallion and fan roundels within swags, enclosed within a border adorned with palms. A gorgeous play of blues, beige-brown, gold and other subtle hues lend a dynamic and energetic flair to the composition. Keen eyes will adore its many soft colors and graceful design which evoke neoclassical sensibility with regal distinction. This marriage of color and a comfortable, sophisticated style in large size is exemplary of its kind—a provenance Rug & Kilim Principal Jahanshah Nazmiyal hails among his favorite sensibilities in all handmade rugs. Altogether it’s a piece as deeply personal in its subtext as it is in the details and beauties that distinguish it in our craft—both a masterpiece and a collectible rug, teeming with history and culture. Condition: This vintage Savonnerie rug is in great condition for its age and origin.
