A 1920s European Savonnerie carpet from around 1925, measuring approximately 401.3 × 533.4 cm (about 13’2″ × 17’6″). The composition is built on a beige & cream field with a neoclassical floral design — the formal Savonnerie decorative vocabulary characteristic of high early-20th-century European production.
Savonnerie carpets — named for the Savonnerie soap-works at Chaillot, where the manufacture was originally established under royal charter in the 17th century — represent the highest tradition of European knotted-pile carpet production.
Hand-knotted wool. Authentic one-of-a-kind antique.
