Story Behind the Art:French needlepoint rugs originated in 17th–18th century France, particularly in Aubusson and Savonnerie workshops. These rugs feature delicate floral medallions, garlands, and scrollwork, hand-stitched onto canvas using petit and gros point techniques. Associated with aristocratic interiors, they reflect classical European art influences and a refined pastel palette. By the late 20th century, Chinese artisans began replicating these designs with hand-stitching or handweaving, offering authentic-looking reproductions at more accessible prices while preserving the charm of antique French originals.
