Antique Savonnerie carpet, early 20th century This elegant antique Savonnerie burgeons with sumptuous floral wreaths and baskets of fruit in soft tans against a cocoa ground. Inspired by the life-like designs of the Neo-classical and Empire periods, and ultimately by the painted and sculptural decor of ancient Rome, this carpet evokes the grace and beauty of a French palace or a villa at Pompeii. The lustrous sheen of the wool adds an extra touch of luxury amidst the formal classical restraint.
