Story Behind the Art: French needlepoint rugs originated in 17th–18th century France, famously crafted in Aubusson and Savonnerie workshops for royal and aristocratic interiors. Featuring floral medallions and elegant scrollwork, they were hand-stitched onto canvas using fine petit and gros point techniques. These rugs were heavily influenced by classical European art, featuring floral medallions, scrollwork, garlands, and pastel palettes. They were often used in palaces, châteaux, and salons, woven with meticulous craftsmanship using the petit point and gros point techniques. By the late 20th century, China became a major producer of French-style needlepoint rugs. Using centuries-old weaving and embroidery skills, Chinese artisans began replicating Aubusson and Savonnerie designs on a global scale. These rugs are hand-stitched or handwoven, often using wool on cotton canvas, and maintain the look of antique French originals at more accessible price points.
