Story Behind the Art: French needlepoint rugs, developed in 17th–18th century France, were masterpieces of decorative arts craftsmanship. Aubusson and Savonnerie workshops created floral medallions, scrolling vines, and soft pastel compositions stitched meticulously using petit and gros point methods.
These rugs were integral to palace interiors, symbolizing refinement and cultivated taste.
By the late 20th century, China became a leading producer of French-inspired needlepoint rugs, combining embroidery expertise with global demand. Constructed in wool on cotton canvas, these rugs maintain antique French aesthetics while appealing to contemporary traditional and transitional interior styles across the United States.
