Story Behind the Art: Originating in 17th–18th century France, French needlepoint rugs were masterpieces of elegance and refinement, created in the famed Aubusson and Savonnerie workshops for royal residences and aristocratic salons. These exquisite rugs, hand-stitched onto canvas using petit point and gros point embroidery techniques, showcased intricate floral medallions, scrollwork, and garlands inspired by classical European art. Their soft pastel color palettes and graceful motifs brought sophistication to palaces, châteaux, and grand salons, embodying the opulence of French decorative tradition. By the late 20th century, Chinese artisans—renowned for their mastery of weaving and embroidery—revived this time-honored craft, producing Aubusson and Savonnerie–style needlepoint rugs with remarkable precision. Using handwoven or hand-stitched wool on cotton canvas, they faithfully recreate the beauty and charm of antique French originals while offering them at more accessible price points. Today, these rugs continue to reflect the grace, artistry, and heritage that once adorned Europe’s most elegant interiors.
