Teal 4x6 French Needlepoint Traditional Floral Hand Woven Wool Oriental Area Rug

This 4' x 6' hand-woven French needlepoint rug features a flat, low cut pile on a cotton foundation, giving the surface a clean, textile-like finish. A teal field is organized into a repeating diamond lattice, each shape enclosing delicately rendered floral bouquets in blush, ivory, sage, and soft blue. The interplay between geometry and florals creates a steady rhythm that feels structured without rigidity. A pale beige border frames the design and subtly mirrors interior motifs, bringing cohesion to the overall composition. Crisp outlines and smooth color transitions reflect the precision of needlepoint weaving, while the wool pile adds warmth without softening the pattern. Thoughtfully proportioned and balanced, the rug offers lasting visual interest through its disciplined design and craftsmanship.

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.
