Hand-knotted in wool and originating in France circa 1850-1900, this 10x15 Antique French Savonnerie rug in the Neoclassical style is a rare masterpiece from Rug & Kilim’s European rug collection. On the Design: This antique rug enjoys a rich, chocolate brown field underscoring a gorgeous medallion in gold, blue, pink and green tones. Within its heart lies a delicate rosette, encircled by a regal crown of flowers, all interwoven with graceful scrolls and stylized shells further contributing to the overall sense of ornate sophistication. In each corner, the iconic fleur-de-lys motifs speak to the rug's heritage and its intended place within settings of refined taste and lineage. This marriage of color and sophisticated style in a gracious size exemplifies Josh’s favorite Savonnerie carpets of this period. Altogether this 19th century piece is 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 true collector’s rug, teeming with history and culture. Condition: This Antique French Savonnerie rug is in good condition for its age and origin.
