This antique collotype postcard features a detailed interior view of the Savonnerie workshop within the Manufacture des Gobelins in Paris. The scene depicts two lissiers (weavers) meticulously working at a high-warp loom, surrounded by the specialized tools and bobbins used to create the famous Savonnerie carpets. Produced by the well-known Parisian publisher J. Le Deley, this card is part of a series documenting the historic national manufactories of France. It remains unposted with a clean, divided back. A superb addition for collectors of industrial history, textile arts, or Parisian topographical views. Please see high-resolution scans for a full view of the condition.
