About Savonneries Rugs
Savonnerie rugs have been the most prestigious European style knotted-pile carpets since early 17th century (Louis XIII). They are made with wool and sometimes silk in the small details, knotted using the Ghiordes knot in purely French designs with the occasional addition of Rococo elements. Our collection consists of the most meticulously woven plush area rugs in all sizes at wholesale prices.
About Wool Pile
Before written history, mankind was using wool to make life better and comfortable. Although scientists have tried many times to make a synthetic product with all of the qualities of wool, they have never succeeded. Nothing compares with the comfort, resilience, versatility, and health benefits of pure wool. Hypoallergenic - Wool is resistant to bacteria, mold, and mildew, which trigger reactions in some people. Temperature controlled - Wool is warm in cool weather, cool when it's warm. Naturally fire retardant - Wool extinguishes itself when touched to a flame. It won't continue to burn. Because of this fact, firemen wear wool clothing. Dust mite repellant - Dust mites need moisture to survive. Wool evaporates moisture quickly and is inhospitable to dust mites.
