Story Behind the Art: French needlepoint rugs trace their origins to the elegant tapestry traditions of 17th- and 18th-century France, particularly in the renowned Aubusson and Savonnerie workshops. These rugs were crafted using petit point and gros point embroidery techniques, allowing artisans to achieve detailed floral medallions, scrolling borders, and refined European motifs inspired by classical art. Originally woven for palaces and aristocratic salons, they became symbols of luxury and cultivated taste. By the late 20th century, Chinese artisans—drawing on their own long history of embroidery and weaving—began producing high-quality interpretations of Aubusson and Savonnerie designs. Crafted by hand using wool on cotton canvas, these reproductions maintain the romantic aesthetic and timeless charm of French needlepoint while offering more accessible pricing for contemporary homes.
