Antique French Aubusson Savonnerie Rug with Rococo Scrollwork - Rug & Kilim
This monumental 13x16 rug is a rare and collectible artifact of European decorative art. Hand-knotted in plush wool pile and hailing from the Savonnerie lineage, this textile embodies the regal, ornamental grandeur of the Louis XV/Rococo style. This piece is an exciting centerpiece for Rug & Kilim's European Collection.On the Design:This rug is a magnificent, woven echo of a gilded ballroom, capturing the refined luxury and flowing grace of the Transitional style. The core design is a complex study in symmetry, centered by a soft, luminous oval cartouche that dominates the field in a serene tone of aged beige/cream.Framing this central medallion is a torrent of lush, ornamental scrollwork: intricate acanthus leaves, flowering vines, and flowing volutes rendered in a sophisticated palette of soft dusky rose, muted slate blue, and pale sage green. This design is a truly elegant neoclassical work, executed with the nuanced shading and delicate color-blending characteristic of the finest Savonnerie pile-weaving.The grandeur of the design, coupled with its plush, hand-knotted wool pile, lends the rug a majestic, layered dimensionality. This is an extremely collectible piece that honors the ornamental complexity of 18th-century weaving while offering the comforting texture and soft palette desired in high-end interiors today.Condition:This antique rug is in excellent foundational condition for a textile of its age, exhibiting soft color mellowing consistent with its history. This beautiful piece is currently undergoing expert restoration and conservation by our in-house master weaver and will be available upon completion of this process.
