Style Tip

The Savonnerie rug was originally designed to complement the grand interiors of French palaces. Today, this 1950s version works perfectly to soften a room with hardwood floors. It pairs exquisitely with Louis XV/XVI style furniture, but also provides a lovely "feminine" counterpoint to clean-lined, modern furniture. See less
