Savonnerie French Antique Allover Floral Geometric Forest Green Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1870 BB3780 6'10" × 7'3" $8,000

This antique French Savonnerie carpet, hand-knotted in wool circa 1870, belongs to the refined decorative tradition of 19th-century France. Its square format and carefully balanced drawing make it especially suited to formal interiors and collected rooms.

The field is an open forest green, crossed by a coral-pink trellis that creates a series of large diamonds across the surface. At each intersection, small ivory floral rosettes add a quiet botanical accent, lending the composition a measured rhythm and a sense of architectural calm. The contrast between the dark ground and the lighter ornament keeps the design lively without becoming crowded.

A leafy border in warm tan and olive tones frames the rug and softens the geometry with a more natural note. The result is a Savonnerie rug that combines structure and ornament in equal measure, offering the tailored elegance of an antique French floral-geometric carpet with enduring decorative appeal.

Part of Doris Leslie Blau's grand collection, this antique rug stands as a testament to the enduring beauty of traditional weaving artistry.
