Early 20th-century French needlepoint rugs for sale, the ivory field with an allover abstract design of scrolling leaves and floral sprays in greens and pinks within a plain black and beige border. The ancient craft of needlepoint, also known as ‘canvas needlework’, ‘canvas embroidery’ or ‘petit point’ flourished most notably in England and France. Executed with wool yarn on jute, hemp, or linen canvas until the latter was replaced by cotton around 1825, needlepoints are easily identified by their distinctive stitches—the tent stitch or petit point, and gros point. English needlepoints, renowned for their profuse floral motifs, reached an artistic zenith in 1700-1750 but were produced through the end of the nineteenth century. Mainly used as table antique European carpets, the earliest pieces, dating from 1550-1650, exhibited scrolls of flowers with pictorial and heraldic motifs. Eighteenth-century pieces reveal the influence of contemporary artistic movements including baroque, chinoiserie, neoclassical, and rococo.

This circa-1900 antique European fragment rug features an ornate gilded abstraction surrounding a deep purple and green floral design and is framed on both sides with stylized leaves in varying shades of green, against a sky blue background. The subtle dark outline and general attention to detail in the turn of the century antique carpet fragment is suggestive of a renowned tradition. Rug production was introduced to Europe by the Moors of Spain between the eighth and thirteenth centuries. While antique oriental rugs initially had a significant influence on European rug designs, various regions came to develop their own unique styles and techniques over time. The ornate style of this particular fragment evokes French Savonnerie and Aubusson factories, which, starting in the 17th century, began producing some of the most exceptional classical European carpets of the last few hundred years.
