Modern, Chinese Savonnerie – This modern Savonile rug depicts a stunning series of gilded medallions embellished with regal motifs and symbolic details. Gilded crowns, ornate urns, emblazoned shields and quivers full of arrows support the central medallion along with floriferous garlands, delicately shaded laurel wreaths and articulated acanthus fronds that appear throughout the central medallion. The elegant pastel-colored acanthus leaves and curving trumpets of unfurling fronds are offset beautifully by the celestial midnight blue background. The ends of the lavishly decorated field depict pastoral tapestry scenes enclosed by gilded laurel-leaf frames. The opulent style continues in the stately borders that depict dimensional cabochons separated by flourishing leaflets, which embody the palatial elegance of this modern Savonile rug.
