Story Behind the Art: French needlepoint rugs trace their roots to the 17th and 18th centuries, emerging from the renowned Aubusson and Savonnerie workshops, where they were crafted for the opulent interiors of royal palaces and aristocratic homes. Known for their delicate floral medallions and graceful scrollwork, these rugs were meticulously hand-stitched onto canvas using fine petit and gros point techniques. The designs were heavily influenced by classical European art, often featuring floral motifs, garlands, and pastel hues, which added sophistication to their surroundings. These rugs graced the floors of palaces, châteaux, and salons, and their creation involved exceptional craftsmanship. By the late 20th century, China became a key producer of French-style needlepoint rugs, with artisans using time-honored weaving and embroidery methods to replicate the iconic Aubusson and Savonnerie designs. These handwoven or hand-stitched rugs, often crafted with wool on cotton canvas, offer the timeless beauty of antique French originals at more accessible prices.
