Antique French Savonnerie Fragment

No. 9086
France, Circa 1800
2 ft. x 4 ft. 2 in.
(0.60 x 1.26 m)

An antique French Savonnerie Fragment. This high pile piece looks like a sampler. The rose ground displays a vigorous and complex acanthus spiral volute with an attendant berry and flower device, all with a  shell and acanthus brown border. This sampler was one of several to show to clients or guide the weavers when making a complete carpet. Now it is a dramatic accent.

  • Hand-knotted in France
  • Wool
  • One of a kind
