The aqua-mint field, enclosed by a tan and blush floral border, is adorned with an intricate lattice of gold and pink motifs, recalling the elegance of 18th-century French interiors. With a 0.5-inch pile, it delivers soft sheen, tactile depth, and lasting form. Perfect for living rooms, salons, or refined home libraries, this French Aubusson rug merges ornamental logic with material grace, bringing European artistry and regal sophistication to U.S. homes.

Story Behind the Art: Savonnerie rugs originate from the historic Savonnerie Manufactory in France, which produced some of the most prestigious hand-knotted carpets of the 17th and 18th centuries. Known for their luxurious texture, courtly elegance, and painterly detail, these rugs often feature grand medallions, heraldic emblems, scrolling acanthus leaves, and lush floral garlands, usually framed within multiple ornamental borders. A signature trait of Savonnerie weaving is the use of depth and shading to create a three-dimensional, sculptural effect, a technique pioneered by French artisans of the era. Today, this legacy continues in fine workshops in India, Pakistan, China, and Iran, where artisans preserve the regal look and European artistic sophistication that has made Savonnerie rugs a symbol of timeless luxury in upscale interiors.
