    Multi Sizes LoomBloom Dual Surface Felt & Rubber Non-Slip Backing Rug Pad

A truly distinctive 5' x 8' hand woven wool French needlepoint rug, this traditional pictorial piece stands apart for its narrative quality and fine, illustrative detail, presented through a flat 0.10" cut pile on a cotton foundation. Set on a soft beige ground, the design opens into a gently cleared central field where delicately rendered birds appear in motion, surrounded by an expansive tapestry of flowering vines, leaves, and blossoms that grow inward from the edges. The palette is layered with sage and green tones, softened by lavender, pink, blue, and warm brown, and feels nuanced and natural, allowing the scene to unfold gradually. Unlike strictly patterned rugs, this composition reads almost like a painted landscape, with variation, asymmetry, and subtle pauses that invite closer looking. The needlepoint technique gives remarkable precision to each bird, petal, and stem, creating depth without heaviness and movement without clutter. Visually gentle and richly detailed, this rug brings a sense of story, calm, and individuality to a space, offering something expressive that feels both decorative and deeply considered.

Story Behind the Art: French needlepoint rugs originated in 17th–18th century France, famously crafted in Aubusson and Savonnerie workshops for royal and aristocratic interiors. Featuring floral medallions and elegant scrollwork, they were hand-stitched onto canvas using fine petit and gros point techniques. These rugs were heavily influenced by classical European art, featuring floral medallions, scrollwork, garlands, and pastel palettes. They were often used in palaces, châteaux, and salons, woven with meticulous craftsmanship using the petit point and gros point techniques. By the late 20th century, China became a major producer of French-style needlepoint rugs. Using centuries-old weaving and embroidery skills, Chinese artisans began replicating Aubusson and Savonnerie designs on a global scale. These rugs are hand-stitched or handwoven, often using wool on cotton canvas, and maintain the look of antique French originals at more accessible price points.
