HOT ! Mid-Century French Savonnerie rug 4.9\' x 7.7\' 1950s - 1C1212

Mid-Century French Savonnerie Style Rug from the 1950s

This striking mid-century rug is a playful and bold interpretation of the French Savonnerie tradition, likely produced during the 1950s. Diverging from the classical floral motifs of the 18th century, this piece embraces a more graphic, modernist aesthetic. The vibrant scarlet-red field is punctuated by two vertical rows of five octagonal medallions, or \"guls,\" rendered in a high-contrast black and cream palette.

The repeating geometric motifs evoke a sense of ordered symmetry, while the dense, plush wool pile provides a luxurious tactile quality. The rug is framed by a sophisticated geometric border that mirrors the internal secondary motifs, tying the composition together with mid-century precision. This rug is an ideal statement piece for a contemporary interior, offering a bridge between traditional French craftsmanship and 20th-century graphic design.
