Artistic Tale: The roots of Savonnerie rugs trace back to opulent French pile floor coverings produced at the renowned Savonnerie Manufactory, which flourished primarily from 1650 to 1685. Presently, the term "Savonnerie"" encapsulates the legacy of knotted pile rugs characterized by distinctive French designs. These designs feature pictorial or heraldic framed medallions, lush bouquets of densely arranged flowers, or intricate leafy patterns set against rich backgrounds of deep blue, black, or dark brown, all bordered elaborately. Notably, French Aubusson Savonnerie rugs stand out due to a depth perspective technique pioneered by 17th-century French artists and weavers. This technique imparts a three-dimensional illusion to the rug's patterns, creating a sense of depth. Consequently, Aubusson Rugs boast intricate color schemes, symmetrical knots, and elaborate designs. Today, the legacy of these rugs endures as they continue to be reproduced in countries such as India, Pakistan, China, and Iran, allowing enthusiasts to appreciate their uniqueness."
