Vintage Spanish Savonnerie Botanic Handmade Wool Rug (Size Adjusted) BB8732 13'5" × 26'0" $80,000

This elegant, large-scale rug captures the timeless beauty of French Savonnerie carpet design, reinterpreted through a Spanish artistic lens. Now adapted to a 26 by 14-foot size, the rug retains its sculptural presence while offering a practical scale for generous spaces.

A luminous ivory field forms a serene background for a soft, painterly arrangement of pastel tones—rose pinks, lavender purples, mint greens, and muted golds. Off-white wool creates a luminous base with subtle tonal variations that speak to the handmade process.

In the center lies a lozenge-shaped panel, richly detailed with stylized blossoms and scrollwork framed by cartouches in burgundy and lavender. Radiating outward are delicate garlands of rosebuds and foliage, anchored by urns, cameo-style cartouches, and scrolling acanthus patterns—exquisite echoes of aristocratic Savonnerie aesthetics.

Surrounding the field, multiple borders layer depth and rhythm. The innermost features Greek key fretwork in lavender and gold, followed by a grand burgundy band embellished with scrolling acanthus vines and floral forms. A final lavender meander band encloses the design with painterly precision.

Finely hand-hooked in wool, the rug offers a plush yet dignified texture that highlights the intricacy of the motifs. Closer inspection reveals artisan variation—popping rosebuds, softly full blooms, and subtle warmth in the woolen pile impart a sense of living patina and heritage.

This rug radiates refined romance: it feels like a garden waltz at dawn, with pastel flowers drifting across a soft ivory mist. The palette and floral motifs evoke a balance of formality and poetic lightness—perfect for anchor spaces, fine interiors, or settings that honor both elegance and artisanal character.
