This rug came about because King Henri IV’s desire to revive the French arts after their collapse during the Wars of Religion. DuPont was one of several craftsmen to whom the king provided a workshop in the effort to produce French goods. Savonnerie rugs were under the exclusive ownership of the Crown (like a patent) and became some of the grandest of French diplomatic gifts. Savonnerie rugs were constructed of fine, close woolen pile at approximately 90 knots per square inch in small, patterned detail. It took a full year for a skilled craftsman (who had apprenticed for at least six years) to weave a 5-by-7-foot rug. More complex patterns took even longer. Savonnerie rugs are fashioned Baroque and Rococo motifs, densely massed and naturalistic floral bouquets, leafy foliage, coats of arms, heraldry and architectural images all within multiple borders. The colors used were deep blue, black and brown as well as pastels. They were among the most important styles of rugs throughout Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries and subsequently influenced Spanish weavers during the 18th and 19th centuries. Today, Savonnerie styles are copied and produced in India, Pakistan and China with great efforts to keep alive the look and feel, as well as the original designs, for people to continue to enjoy. Buy with confidence, you will love this rug and if you have children they will love it also.
