Story Behind The Art: Aubusson and Savonnerie rugs originated in 17th-century France and are renowned for their ornate floral patterns and regal aesthetic. Aubusson rugs were traditionally woven using the flatweave needlepoint technique, creating delicate floral compositions with pastel hues. On the other hand, Savonnerie rugs, crafted for royal palaces like Versailles, feature three-dimensional, sculpted motifs with deep, rich colors. Over time, Aubusson-style rugs incorporated the grandeur of Savonnerie elements, resulting in designs that combine French elegance with sophisticated artistry.
