Antique Savonnerie Rug with Botanical Green Floral Design - Rug & Kilim
This 9x12 antique Savonnerie inspired rug is a distinguished hand-knotted wool piece from China dating to circa 1890–1900. The rug features an elegant botanical floral composition rendered in soft ivory, sage green, olive, and muted blush tones.
On the Design:
The design reflects the refined grandeur that defines antique Savonnerie rugs. The composition enjoys an elegant arrangement of scrolling foliage, flowering botanicals, and decorative ornamentation that unfolds gracefully across the field. Set against an open ivory ground, the motifs achieve a remarkable sense of balance and sophistication, lending the piece an airy yet regal presence.
Particularly notable is the rug’s soft natural palette and richly decorative character. Shades of sage green, olive, fern, beige, blush, and muted ivory harmonize beautifully, revealing the influence of French decorative arts and the celebrated weaving traditions associated with Savonnerie workshops. The finely drawn floral motifs and nuanced coloration underscore the artistry of the design, while the gentle patina acquired over time lends an added sense of depth and elegance. A timeless example of French craftsmanship, the rug remains equally compelling as a decorative statement and a collectible work of textile art.
Condition:
This antique Savonnerie rug enjoys good condition for its age and origin.
