History
The art of the Petit Point originated at the French court, where the women mostly embroidered coarser tapestries. As the generations and epochs changed, the stitches became finer and finer, the threads thinner and thinner and the colors more sophisticated. This beautiful form of handicraft found its way to Austria in the Baroque era and became a popular pastime for court ladies. The Viennese Petit Point experienced its heyday in the Rococo and is characterized by its particular delicacy and variety of colors. Even today, engravings and pictures from this period are mainly used as models and it is mainly French and Dutch masters who gave the Viennese Petit Point its typical appearance and still give it today.
