Story Behind the Art: French needlepoint floor coverings trace to 17th–18th-century Aubusson and Savonnerie ateliers, where artisans stitched refined bouquets, scrolls, and ribboned garlands onto canvas grounds. Executed in petit and gros point, the work borrowed heavily from classical and Rococo art, favoring pastel palettes and elegant symmetry suited to palaces and salons. In the late 20th century, master embroiderers in China revived and scaled this tradition, hand-stitching and handweaving wool designs on cotton canvas to capture the look and grace of antique French originals—now accessible for contemporary interiors while honoring centuries-old technique.
