Story Behind the Art: French needlepoint rugs trace their origins to the 17th and 18th centuries, when they were produced in the renowned Aubusson and Savonnerie workshops to furnish royal residences and aristocratic salons. Inspired by classical European art, these rugs feature elegant floral medallions, scrolling vines, garlands, and soft pastel palettes arranged with refined symmetry. Traditionally hand-stitched onto canvas using petit point and gros point techniques, they were valued as much for artistic expression as for decorative function. During the late 20th century, Chinese artisans began producing French-style needlepoint rugs, applying centuries-old weaving and embroidery skills to recreate Aubusson and Savonnerie designs for a global audience. Typically made with wool on cotton canvas, these rugs preserve the appearance of antique French originals while offering greater accessibility and versatility for modern interiors.
