Story Behind the Art: French needlepoint rugs developed in 17th and 18th century France, most notably in the Aubusson and Savonnerie workshops that supplied elaborate floor coverings for royal and aristocratic interiors. Drawing inspiration from classical European art, these rugs featured floral medallions, scrolling vines, garlands, and softly harmonized color palettes. Traditionally executed using petit point and gros point stitching techniques on canvas, they were prized for their refinement and decorative detail, making them ideal for salons, palaces, and châteaux. In the late 20th century, Chinese artisans began producing French-style needlepoint rugs, applying generations of embroidery and weaving expertise to recreate these historic designs. Crafted in wool on cotton foundations, these rugs retain the elegance and character of antique French originals while offering a more accessible interpretation of this celebrated decorative tradition.
