Story Behind the Art: Originating in 17th- and 18th-century France, French needlepoint rugs were masterpieces of refinement, hand-crafted in the renowned Aubusson and Savonnerie workshops to adorn royal residences, châteaux, and aristocratic salons. Characterized by their floral medallions, ornate scrollwork, and delicate garlands, these rugs reflected the grandeur of classical European art, often rendered in soft pastel palettes that conveyed elegance and harmony. Created using the meticulous petit point and gros point embroidery techniques, each piece was hand-stitched onto canvas with remarkable attention to detail, producing rugs celebrated for their texture and artistry. By the late 20th century, skilled Chinese artisans revived this tradition, applying centuries-old weaving and embroidery methods to recreate the timeless beauty of Aubusson and Savonnerie designs. Handwoven from wool on cotton canvas, these rugs preserve the aesthetic and craftsmanship of their French predecessors while offering an accessible, high-quality alternative admired throughout the U.S. and global decorative rug markets.
