Sage 7'7''x9'8" Aubusson Needlepoint Traditional Floral Asmara European Hand Woven Wool Oriental Area Rug

This flatweave rug, handwoven by Asmara in China, follows the traditional French Aubusson needlepoint style and celebrates classical European design. It’s made from fine wool and has a low 0.1-inch pile, giving it a flat, tapestry-like surface with very detailed patterns. The rug features a layout made of octagonal medallions filled with floral designs in sage, gold, pink, peach, and brown, with touches of blue and red for contrast. Botanical and architectural elements connect the medallions, creating a balanced and lively look. The sage and gold background grounds the design while the florals add warmth and a romantic touch. This rug is ideal for traditional, vintage, or eclectic rooms and works beautifully in formal areas like sitting rooms, under dining tables, or hallways that need a refined and textured look.

French needlepoint rugs trace their roots to 17th and 18th-century France, where they were meticulously crafted in the workshops of Aubusson and Savonnerie for use in royal and aristocratic settings. These rugs featured delicate floral medallions, scrollwork, garlands, and other decorative elements inspired by classical European art. Artisans used the petit point and gros point techniques—types of fine needlework stitched onto canvas—to achieve their signature look. Originally intended for palaces and salons, these rugs symbolized luxury and artistic refinement. In the late 20th century, Chinese artisans, drawing on their long-standing traditions of embroidery and textile craftsmanship, began producing French-style needlepoint rugs. They replicated classic designs using hand-stitched or handwoven methods, often working with wool on cotton canvas. These modern versions preserve the antique charm of the originals while offering them at more accessible prices for global collectors and interior designers.
