Ce tapis est évocateur du style classique et élégant de l’Empire adopté à travers toute l’Europe. Ses motifs sont représentatifs de ceux utilisés dans la production originale de Jacques-Louis de La Hamayde de Saint-Ange-Desmaisons (connu sous le nom de Saint-Ange (1780-1860). Il fut le créateur le plus influent de la Manufacture de la Savonnerie durant la seconde moitié du Premier Empire (1804-1814) et durant la majeure partie de la période Restauration (1814-1815). Saint-Ange a étudié aux côtés de grands ornemanistes néoclassiques tels que Charles Percier et Alexandre-Théodore Brongniart. Par la suite il va également dessiner des modèles pour la manufacture de porcelaine de Sèvres et pour la manufacture de Gobelins. Il fut nommé dessinateur au Mobilier Impérial sous l’Empire puis dessinateur au Garde-Meuble de la Couronne sous la Restauration. C’est lorsqu’il occupe cette place qu’il dessine des tapis pour la Savonnerie (1810-1831). Ses dessins néoclassiques furent largement repris par les autres manufactures telles que celle de Tournai, Beauvais ou encore Aubusson et pour la plupart dans des qualités comparables. Ce sont les agences de l’état qui transmettaient aux différents ateliers à travers la France les cartons de tapisserie, issus le plus souvent de ceux utilisés à la Savonnerie. Parmi les motifs créés par Saint-Ange, facilement identifiables grâce aux estampes, on trouve le grand médaillon central à décor de roses mauresques, les bordures florales reliées par un ruban, les feuilles d’acanthe colorées, les cocardes d'angle, les bordures fleuries, les cornes d'abondance remplies de fleurs et l'utilisation de nuances de roses et de dorés sur des fonds verts ou cerise.
Un tapis similaire par Saint-Ange est conservé dans les collections du Mobilier National, Paris (M. Jarry, The Carpets of the Manufacture De La Savonnerie, Leigh-on-Sea, 1966, fig.78). Pour les aquarelles de tapis réalisées par Saint-Ange reprenant des motifs d’étoiles, de cygnes et de bordures ondulées similaires voir E. Floret, 'Le renouveau du tapis francais sous l'Empire' in Les Tapis D'Empire, , Paris, 2003.
This carpet is evocative of the classical and elegant Empire style adopted across Europe and the design is representative of those used in the originals of Jacques-Louis de La Hamayde de Saint-Ange-Desmaisons (known as Saint-Ange (1780-1860). He was the most influential designer of Savonnerie carpets during the second half of the First Empire (1804-1814) and most of the Bourbon Restoration period (1814-1815). Saint-Ange studied with Neoclassical designers, Charles Percier and Alexandre-Théodore Brongniart, and later designed for the porcelain manufactory at Sèvres and for the Gobelins. He was appointed designer at the Mobilier Impérial in 1816, and later under the new regime at the Mobilier de la Couronne. It was in this role that he designed carpets for Savonnerie (1810-1831). His Neoclassical designs were widely imitated by the well known workshops, including Tournai, Beauvais, Aubusson, and many were of comparable quality. The cartoons for the designs were obtained by the workshops, and this included by the independent workshops of Aubusson, from French Government agencies and were often those used by the Savonnerie. Identifiable motifs from Saint-Ange's lithograph designs for the woven carpets include the large central medallions with `rose moresque', scrolling ribbon bound floral borders, colourful acanthus leaves, corner roundels, flowering stem borders, flower filled cornucopiae, and the use of shades of rose pinks and golden yellows against green or cerise grounds.
A similarly designed carpet by Saint-Ange is in the Collection Mobilier National, Paris (Madeleine Jarry, The Carpets of the Manufacture De La Savonnerie, Leigh-on-Sea, 1966, fig.78). For watercolours of carpet designs by Saint-Ange with similar motifs including stars, swans and wave borders see E. Floret, 'Le renouveau du tapis francais sous l'Empire' in Les Tapis D'Empire, Norma Editions, Paris, 2003.
