7'2 x 9'7 Handmade Needlepoint Sino-French Savonnerie Style Area Rug

Item Details

This large-scale area rug features a formal Savonnerie design executed in a durable hand-worked cross-stitch. The construction utilizes a heavy-gauge wool on a robust canvas foundation, creating a distinct ‘X’ textured surface that provides significant structural integrity. The symmetrical composition centers on a floral medallion framed by scrolling acanthus leaves, with classical urns anchoring each corner. This specific stitching technique, combined with the perimeter canvas tape on the reverse, ensures the rug maintains its rectilinear form, preventing the diagonal warping common in traditional tent-stitch needlepoint.
