Size: 48 x 93 in.
#52 #9008 .
From roughly 1650 to 1685 the Savonnerie textile manufacturer was the most prestigious in all of Europe. Their knotted-pile carpets were so ubiquitous and beloved that the name is now casually applied to many rugs made at other centers in Europe and beyond. It first opened in an abandoned soap factory on the Quai de Chaillot downstream of Paris in 1615 by Pierre DuPont, who was granted a patent monopoly to make carpets for the kingdom. This lasted until 1768, with their products exclusively the property of the Crown and considered some of the grandest of French diplomatic gifts. Some early carpets broadly imitate Persian models, but the Savonnerie style soon diversified extensively, incorporating pictorial or armorial framed medallions, densely massed flowers in bouquets or leafy rinceaux against deep blue, and black or deep brown grounds within multiple borders. Their incorporation of Oriental patterns was partially responsible for the spread of the style through the country prior to the 18th Century, as the elite class sought out all things deemed exotic and opulent. In the late 18th Century Savonnerie produced panels for screens and firescreens as well as wall-hangings. The factory was shut during the Revolution, but the style and the company was revived during the reign of Napoleon, who commissioned carpets in the Empire style. In 1825 the Savonnerie was incorporated with the Gobelins Tapestry Manufactory, ending its independence, but the facility continued to function, still employing 40 weavers today who make each intricate piece by hand.
