Antique Savonnerie French Rug 43937

Woven with luxuriously-long knotted-pile, this classic Savonnerie-style rug features a grand cameo medallion bordered by a field of scrolling acanthus leaves, fruit-filled cornucopias, and woven baskets of peonies, apricots, and branches laden with fruit clusters. In style and color, this exquisitely crafted carpet provides an excellent example of the architectural and botanical elements favored by Baroque carpet weavers as well as the unique realism captured by their three-dimensional shading.
