Such a canvas allows for incredible detail and endless variation in design and motifs. Created with millions of hand stitches, complex shading and industrious detail, each needlepoint rug is a work of art. These pileless weaves historically have their origins in the ‘rug belt,’ a geographical region that spans from Morocco in North Africa through the Middle East and into Central Asia and Northern India. But it was mostly in England and France, where the art of needlework flourished and gained ascendance. French Needlepoint rugs make use of Aubusson and Savonneri
