Red 4x6'5'' French Needlepoint Traditional Floral Hand Woven Wool Oriental Area Rug

This 4' x 6'5" hand-woven wool French needlepoint rug is defined by its flat 0.10" cut pile, cotton foundation, and a warm palette led by deep red and beige tones softened with ivory and subtle touches of teal. The design unfolds as a sweeping botanical composition, where full roses and layered foliage form a loose, wreath-like arrangement that feels abundant yet balanced. The background allows the florals space to breathe, while gentle curves in the leaves create a sense of movement across the surface. Needlepoint craftsmanship brings painterly depth through careful shading, making the rug decorative, welcoming, and well suited to spaces that benefit from warmth and color.

Story Behind the Art: French needlepoint rugs developed in 17th and 18th century France, most notably in the Aubusson and Savonnerie workshops that supplied elaborate floor coverings for royal and aristocratic interiors. Drawing inspiration from classical European art, these rugs featured floral medallions, scrolling vines, garlands, and softly harmonized color palettes. Traditionally executed using petit point and gros point stitching techniques on canvas, they were prized for their refinement and decorative detail, making them ideal for salons, palaces, and châteaux. In the late 20th century, Chinese artisans began producing French-style needlepoint rugs, applying generations of embroidery and weaving expertise to recreate these historic designs. Crafted in wool on cotton foundations, these rugs retain the elegance and character of antique French originals while offering a more accessible interpretation of this celebrated decorative tradition.
