Note: Named for its location in a former soap works (savon mean soap in French), the factory produced primarily for the royal family of Henry IV. The carpets produced were constructed of a fine, close wool pile of approximately ninety knots per square inch, and works, in addition to floor and table covers, included folding screens, wall-hangings, and copies of oil paintings.. Carpet factory established under Henri IV, King of France. Pierre Dupont obtained license to manufacture in 1608 under the Galeries du Louvre in Paris, and in 1627 with Simon Lourdet obtained an 18 year concession for carpet production in a former soap works in Paris, called the Savonnerie. The Savonnerie was joined with the Gobelins tapestry manufactory in 1825. Carpet production continues today. |
