Story Behind the Art: Born in the workshops of Aubusson and Savonnerie during the 17th–18th centuries, French needlepoint rugs were crafted for Europe’s most refined interiors. Floral medallions, garlands, and pastel tones defined their compositions, stitched meticulously using petit and gros point methods. By the late 20th century, China’s skilled textile artisans began producing these designs on a global scale. Using wool on cotton canvas foundations, they recreated the antique look while providing accessibility and consistent craftsmanship. These rugs continue to serve as decorative anchors in traditional, transitional, and classic luxury homes.
