Story Behind the Art: Emerging from the artistic legacy of 17th–18th century France, French needlepoint rugs epitomize the grace and refinement of European decorative arts. Originally woven in the prestigious Aubusson and Savonnerie workshops, these masterpieces adorned royal palaces and noble estates, celebrated for their floral medallions, scrolling vines, and soft pastel palettes. Each rug was meticulously hand-stitched on canvas using the delicate petit point and gros point embroidery techniques, achieving exquisite texture, dimensional beauty, and remarkable durability. In the late 20th century, expert artisans in China revived this esteemed weaving tradition, recreating classic Aubusson and Savonnerie motifs with precision and artistry. Using fine wool on durable cotton foundations, they preserved the elegance, symmetry, and romantic charm of the French originals—offering the same timeless sophistication to a modern audience. Today, French-style needlepoint rugs remain enduring symbols of heritage craftsmanship and refined luxury, seamlessly blending old-world grandeur with contemporary elegance to enrich today’s most graceful interiors.
