Chinese rugs are quite a mystery in the world of vintage rugs. Although not uncommon, their exotic beauty never fails to draw the attention of collectors and aficionados. Although contemporary Chinese rugs often find inspiration in Western Art, vintage carpets more often depict traditional themes and symbols, making them not only decorations but also a valuable element of Chinese culture. This beautiful Oriental rug was woven in the early 20th century, circa 1920. What makes it so interesting is certainly its stunning design. The dragon seen in the central field is certainly the most eye-catching element of the design. It is accompanied by depictions of small clouds and an u-shaped figure, perhaps a horseshoe. The color palette of this rug consists of rather calm, yet pleasing shades of blue, red, and beige. The rug's size, 4'7" x 8'4" (139 x 254 cm), makes it a perfect addition to any interior.

A modern second quarter 20th-century French country rug, the camel field with minor circles and triangles in bands framing the tiles containing brown and beige flowerheads within a thin outer stripe. Rug production was introduced to Europe by the Moors of Spain between the eighth and thirteenth centuries. While Oriental rugs initially had a significant influence on European rugs designs, various regions came to develop their own unique styles and techniques over time. In France, starting in the seventeenth century, factories in Savonnerie and Aubusson rugs for sale began producing some of the most exceptional rugs of the last few centuries. From 1660 until 1743 Savonnerie was a manufacture royal, carrying out commissions for pile antique rugs and carpets specifically designed for the Royal Palaces. In England, high-quality rug production in the town of Axminster in the late 18th century gradually paved the way for the Arts and Crafts rugs in the late nineteenth century when William Morris designed a pattern for an Axminster rug.

Savonnerie Carpets – During the early seventeenth century, a weaver named Pierre DuPont traveled to the Levant. Upon his return, he claimed to have discovered the technique of creating Turkish rugs. Oriental rugs were extremely expensive during Bourbon times, and a French manufactory that could create the same type of rug would lower the price significantly. Henri VI of France–the reigning monarch at the time–took advantage of DuPont’s skills and established a workshop for him at the Louvre. In 1627, King Louis XIII founded a manufactory for DuPont and his apprentice, Simon Lourdet, on the site of a defunct soap factory in the sixteenth arrondissement (also known as Quai de Chaillot). The name “Savonnerie” was born from the French word “savon” meaning “soap.” DuPont and Lourdet worked together, weaving rugs under a royal patent for the king and other nobles, until they had a falling out and split up. Lourdet remained at the Chaillot location while DuPont went to his workshops in the Louvre, though both continued to make Savonnerie rugs.
