Antique Savonnerie Spanish Knotted Rug, Country of Origin: Spain, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional piece is a striking example of the European weaving tradition, specifically drawing inspiration from the French court styles. While produced in the Iberian Peninsula, the structure and aesthetic place it firmly within the realm of Savonnerie rugs. The field employs a highly structured allover design, featuring repeating circular medallions densely packed across a light blue-grey ground. This Spanish interpretation utilizes a sophisticated palette of ochre, deep crimson, and olive green, creating visual depth that distinguishes it from its French counterparts. The weaving heritage of Spain often blended classical European motifs with unique regional colorways. Characterized by its substantial dimensions, this textile functions perfectly as one of the finest room size rugs.
