Story Behind the Art : French needlepoint rugs trace their roots to 17th–18th century France, where the Aubusson and Savonnerie workshops produced some of Europe’s most elaborately crafted textile art. These rugs are distinguished by botanical medallions, scrolling florals, ribbon work, and pastel color harmony inspired by classical European décor. Using petit point and gros point stitching, artisans created intricate motifs on canvas with remarkable precision. In the late 20th century, highly skilled Chinese artisans began reproducing these historic designs using wool and cotton-canvas construction, making the aesthetic more accessible while maintaining the refined beauty of the originals. Today, both authentic and reproduction needlepoint rugs are beloved in the U.S. market for their European elegance, craftsmanship, and decorative versatility.
