Additional Features

• Color: Red/Ivory.
• Origin: French rugs.
• Style: Savonnerie carpets.
• This supremely elegant antique French Savonnerie rug has a grand architectural frame replete with moldings and lush, neo-classical embellishment. The field of this antique rug, roughly square, appears window like, with a coloration so soft that one can barely discern the lattice designs of vines scrolls and the floral bouquet throughout the field. The outer border with its straight garland and ‘bead and reel’ moldings is somewhat darker, imparting a certain gravity and creating just the right amount of juxtaposition to this otherwise light and airy composition.
• Antique Savonnerie and Aubusson rugs are known for their delicate precision and grace. But this specific antique Savonnerie carpet, from France, is exceptional even within its own stylistic type. Rarely do we find such soft and happy colors in the older French Savonnerie rugs. And the size of this specific example is one of the most rare that we have ever come across. For those who are looking to create a beautiful, elegant interior design with a more classically European twist, this magnificent antique French pile rug would make a breathtaking choice.
