EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning settee manufactured by the Savonnerie Factory before 1717. The intricate craftsmanship of this piece is evident in its carved wood frame and exquisite Savonnerie knotted-pile upholstery, made from wool and hemp. Housed at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA, this settee represents the epitome of elegance and luxury. The Savonnerie Factory was renowned for creating opulent furnishings for French royalty since the 17th century. Inspired by Turkish carpets, these furnishings featured vibrant colors and sophisticated designs that were meticulously woven using the Savonnerie knotted-pile technique. Painters would often create large cartoons as templates for weavers to follow. This particular settee boasts a yellow ground, which was favored by Louis XIV himself. It formed part of a suite of furniture that adorned anterooms outside the king's chambers where courtiers eagerly awaited his presence. These pieces not only provided luxurious comfort but also served as protection against cold drafts. Commissioned as a royal gift for the marriage of Isabella Maria de Merode to Count Francois Joseph Czernin in 1717, this settee bears their families' coats-of-arms within its panel titled "Spring". The furniture itself incorporates themes from Aesop's Fables intertwined with architectural designs inspired by Louis XIV. With its rich history and exquisite design, this print captures an extraordinary piece that exemplifies both artistic mastery and regal grandeur.
