Art Deco Savonnerie

The field is covered edge to edge in vertical columns of small triangular and arrow-like motifs, each column alternating in tonal register so that the overall effect reads as a rhythmic zigzag pattern. Colors move through deep blackish-brown, medium brown, tan, and pale cream, with occasional warmer rust-toned triangles breaking the sequence. A narrow plain tan strip frames the composition on all sides, with no other distinct border ornament separating it from the field.

An expansive ivory ground is left largely open, interrupted by a vertical stack of banded motifs running down the central axis: rows of tapering fringe-like spikes in rust, slate blue, and ochre alternate with narrow chevron bands and a strip of small linked circles near the base. Two small rectangular panels of the same chevron pattern sit isolated in the upper corners, echoing the central composition but detached from it. The overall palette stays soft and muted—cream, tan, faded blue, and brick—with the motifs reading almost like fragments suspended in the wide, undecorated field.

Art Deco Savonnerie

The field is filled with a repeating pattern of large stylized sunflower-like blooms and curling leaf forms, arranged in four rows of paired motifs across a plain, unadorned brown border. The palette moves through tones of cream, tan, taupe and deep chocolate brown, with small checkerboard accents set within the flower heads. A woven monogram appears in the lower right corner of the border, otherwise left plain.

French Savonnerie

A tonal field in warm ivory carries an allover scrolling arabesque worked in low relief, the vinework curling into palmettes and rosettes that culminate in a small central medallion barely distinguished from the ground. A matching scroll-and-palmette border frames the field on all sides, rendered in the same soft contrast so that pattern reads through texture and sheen rather than color change.
