On the Design
Admirers of the craft may appreciate this transitional rug among the works of a special workshop from its period. The design centers on an oval medallion of curvacious florals, framed by elaborate cartouches rendered in warm gold, terracotta and sage. There are scrolling acanthus leaves and garlands that create a sense of dimensional depth against the ivory ground. Keen eyes for detail will further appreciate the attention to detail as evident in the intricate medallion, floral patterns in the border, and floral motifs that adorn the entire rug along with an integration of rococo scrollwork and botanical motifs. Admirers of the craft will note the especially warm, saturated colors in the play of medallion and all over style patterns this rug enjoys—a design teeming with life and the particularly elegant, yet whimsical look that’s so sought-after in this provenance. Every feature, from its lush, comfortable pile to its fine detail, is exemplary of collectibles from this weaving tradition—a masterpiece and a true collector’s rug alike, teeming with history and royal culture.
Condition:
This antique French Savonnerie rug further enjoys good condition for its age and lineage, with only mild wear in the field—an exceptional find for both designer and connoisseur alike. less
