Story Behind the Art: Originating in 17th–18th century France, French needlepoint rugs were first crafted in the distinguished Aubusson and Savonnerie workshops for royal estates and elegant salons. Renowned for their floral medallions, intricate scrollwork, and soft pastel tones, these rugs reflected classical European artistry and were delicately stitched onto canvas using the petit and gros point techniques. By the late 20th century, skilled artisans in China adopted these traditional methods, recreating the timeless Aubusson and Savonnerie patterns through meticulous hand-stitching and weaving. Typically made with wool on cotton canvas, these rugs capture the refined beauty and craftsmanship of the French originals while offering a more accessible way to own a piece of European heritage.
