The painting shows the motifs shaded in intricate detail. Notice that unlike oriental rugs, the motifs in a Savonnerie
carpet appear three dimensional. Called depth perspective, it is a unique characteristic of European rugs such as
Aubusson, Savonnerie, and Needlepoint Rugs.
it has been successfully copied by the rug weavers in the east countries. That's why Chinese hand-knotted Savonnerie
rugs and carpets are very popular worldwide owing to exquisite techinique and affordable price.
The very early Savonnerie carpets were made of wool, with small amounts of silk in details and are made in the Ghiordes
knot (also known as the Turkish knot) and have about 90 knots per square inch (90 kpsi). In the beginning French designers
made copies of Persian rugs, but eventually a distinctive French style emerged featuring dense flowers and leafy vines
inspired by patterns found in the friezes of classical Roman buildings as well as pictorial or armorial framed medallions all
enclosed within multiple borders. The background colors were deep blue, black and deep brown. The medallions and
borders could have cream backgrounds. Such kind of French carpet style which continues to the day is still used in various
morden luxurious home decoration.

How to make Savonnerie rugs?
From the following pictures, you can see how we make a rug wholly by hand. Each of the rugs is delicately designed
by the designers. Weavers laboriously take months even years to finish a beautiful rug, fixing one knot after one knot.
It's not only good as home decoration, but also a piece of fine artwork. That's why handmade rug is much more
expensive, valuable and worthy than machine-made rug.
Savonnerie rugs usually folded and well-packed in bales, inner packing with waterproof plastic bag, outer packing with
double-layer woven bags. Small order will be shipped by Fedex/DHL express door to door service, bulk order will be
shipped by air or by sea.
