Savonnerie -

A Savonnerie design is similar to that of an Aubusson design with one major exception, Texture. Each Savonnerie is hand knotted using 100 % wool, then cut creating a thick cut pile. These carpets have many shades of colors to enhance the depth of the design. This depth along with the plush 1/2 inch cut pile is a rich compliment to any English or American colonial style furniture. Because of the luxurious finish and opulence associated with these rugs, they were originally woven specifically for palaces owned by kings and queens.
Savonnerie pieces are available in a variety of sizes and patterns, and make a fine compliment to any Aubusson carpet. Because these rugs are plush and durable we recommend using them for dining room and other high traffic areas.
All French Accents Aubusson designs can also be woven in the Savonnerie weave. Please see the Aubusson archives for all Savonnerie designs available

All of our Aubusson designs are available in Savonnerie texture by order only
