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

Deep navy sets the tone for this 4x6 hand-knotted French Aubusson needlepoint rug, with a structured grid that gently organizes the surface into floral panels. Each square holds a bouquet of roses and garden flowers in soft shades of pink, rose, lavender, and ivory, accented with touches of green that keep the palette fresh. The surrounding border, rendered in warm beige and ivory, repeats the floral pattern in a looser rhythm, creating a natural frame that feels balanced. Rooted in the French Aubusson tradition, this design reflects a period when rugs were conceived almost like painted textiles, favoring symmetry, light contrast, and decorative clarity over heavy patterning. Woven in wool with a flat, low cut pile on a cotton foundation, the rug has a smooth, refined surface that suits both formal rooms and relaxed interiors.

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.
