French Savonnerie (Size Adjusted) BB8826 10'8" × 13'1" $50,000

This exquisite antique rug, sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, showcases a rare blend of history and craftsmanship. The antique French Savonnerie size adjusted rug dates back to 1900’s. The rug features an intricate and elegant pattern characteristic of antique French Savonnerie designs. The design consists of intertwining acanthus leaves, curling and overlapping to create a flowing, organic composition. Delicate flowers in soft pink and blue hues are interspersed among the soft green leaves, adding refinement and contrast to its charcoal field. The pattern is highly symmetrical, with mirrored and repeating elements, typical of classical European-inspired Savonnerie rugs. The scrolling foliage forms a structured yet fluid arrangement. The outermost border is simple, acting as a framing element that subtly complements the ornate central design without overpowering it. This design exemplifies the luxurious and artistic weaving traditions of Savonnerie rugs, making it an exquisite decorative piece.
