The carpet, measuring an impressive 546.00 x 615.60 cm, is currently housed at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. Originally designed for Louis XV's dining room at chateau La Muette by the talented artist Pierre-Josse Perrot in 1735, this carpet is one of three with this royal pattern. Adorned with the royal arms of France on an orb topped by a crown featuring eagle wings, it exudes regal elegance. The design incorporates corner pieces that alternate between cornucopia and military trophies, adding a touch of grandeur to its overall aesthetic. To expedite production time without compromising quality, Perrot simplified the lively artistic style and utilized a brown ground to enhance the vibrant colors.

Employing techniques inspired by Turkish carpets, this particular piece features wool pile formed with symmetrical rug-knots along with wool warps and hemp wefts. With its rich history and exceptional craftsmanship, this Louis XV Savonnerie Carpet stands as a testament to French artistry during that era.
