Antique Savonnerie carpet, early 20th century This elegant Savonnerie is unusually simple in its design. A rich garland of realistic leaves and flowers comprises the border, enclosing an open field strewn sparely with roses. The nicest touch is the subtle change in the ground color from warm ivory inside the border to soft rose just outside it. A marvelous balance of complexity and simplicity.
