Made with hand-knotted wool and velvet in France circa 1880-1890, this 5x14 gallery runner is a rare antique French Savonnerie rug among the most exciting new curations from Rug & Kilim’s European rug collection.On the Design: Admirers of the craft will note this late-19th-century piece is still a reimagining of the Regency style of the 1715-17123 period. Its design is an elegant series of floral patterns and curvaceous garlands that beautifully recapture the neoclassical and regency aesthetic. The border enjoys mascaron tile-like geometric patterns, enfolding a field of sweeping palmettes, cornucopias of fruit, and other finely woven botanical and pictorial elements. Though its polychromatic colorway is one of its many beauties, there are especially present gold, beige-brown and tangerine red hues, as well as blue accents among the many at play. The meticulous attention to fine details of the design, too, exemplifies works of this tradition—a purposeful and intentional piece of graceful air and presence. Admirers of the craft will further note what a rare find works in the gallery size are from this provenance—a collectible piece, equally suitable to wall-hanging projects as a tapestry in its size and sensibility as it is to flooring projects. Condition:This antique Savonnerie runner rug has undergone minor restoration and retrimming, and enjoys an overall good condition.

    Aubusson carpets are pile-less and the tapestry is woven from that town to the southwest of Paris, by a group of independent weavers working under Royal or State protection. The designs are strictly classical, neo-classical, or Victorian. They are virtually never “oriental”. The pattern wefts are wool with silk and/or metal thread for details in the more finely woven examples. Sizes tend toward the squarish and pieces 30’ by 30’ are not unknown. The 18th and 19th-century French clients included the nobility and Haute bourgeoisie. Aubusson carpets were also exported to England and are often to be found in country houses. Light colors are the most popular and dark-toned pieces are very rare. Besides traditional Louis furniture, try an Aubusson with the most modern décor; it might surprise you. This light, airy Aubusson small carpet has matching central and corner rose bouquets. The double elliptical leafy wreaths are spaced to give a sense of informality. The corner bosses are ae equally open. The narrow monochrome border is barely noticeable. There are no overtly classical elements and there is just enough rococo feeling to set it off from the more cluttered pseudo-Baroque of the Victorian period. The colors are all-natural and have mellowed from what originally were sharper brighter tones. Aubusson weavers, as with French rug and tapestry artists generally, work in spans of centuries, not years or decades, and they plan on what their creations will look like far into the future. This Aubusson is a study in greens, especially pistachio, restful and precise, calming and yet rigorous.
