Antique Savonnerie Rug, Origin: France – Here is an absolutely wonderful antique rug that represents an impressive artistic achievement: an antique Savonnerie rug that was originally woven in France. Scrolls, shaded rosettes and scalloped details woven in a formal style complement the rococo and neoclassical architecture that was popular during the Savonnerie movement, making this a very good example of that aesthetic ideal. Rugs such as these were originally conceived to act as Western alternatives to the more well-established Oriental rugs, and, as such, often espouse distinctly European artistic motifs. This Savonnerie is a gorgeous composition that is sure to bring grace and elegance to any home.
