He tells how, in 1668, Louis XIV commissioned 92 enormous Savonnerie carpets for the Grande Galerie of the Louvre, woven over 25 years and never laid out there; after the French Revolution many were stripped of royal emblems, segmented, sold and dispersed, and curators from the Mobilier national and The Met are now piecing them together. In February 2026 the Mobilier national showed 32 of these carpets together at the Grand Palais in Paris, and from September 2026 The Met will stage the first ever exhibition devoted to the Savonnerie in the United States.
