Designed to complement antique furnishings, traditional palettes, and refined décor themes, it stands as an exceptional example of Savonnerie elegance and artisan craftsmanship.

Story Behind the Art : Emerging from the celebrated Savonnerie Manufactory of France, these iconic rugs represent the height of European textile artistry from the mid-17th century. Produced during the golden period of 1650-1685, Savonnerie carpets became synonymous with royal luxury, known for their sumptuous wool pile, opulent medallions, heraldic emblems, and lavish bouquets framed by scrolling rinceaux motifs. Their deep navy, ebony, and chocolate grounds allow the intricate florals to glow with dimensional richness. One of their most revolutionary features is the early use of depth perspective—an innovation of French court weavers that gives each motif a sculptural, three-dimensional illusion. With symmetrical knotting, layered color palettes, and flamboyant decorative details, Savonnerie rugs remain enduring symbols of European elegance. Today, master artisans in India, Pakistan, and China continue to recreate these timeless designs for modern collectors of luxury décor.
