After more than 35 years of ownership under Ann Brandow, Vermilion Needlepoint Rugs becomes part of the Wells family of companies. Exclusively represented at Wells Abbott Showrooms, Vermilion continues to offer a wide selection of needlepoint rugs and runners, created by the same small team of Brazilian artisans.
Vermilion's talented women artisans hand-stitch needlepoint rugs made of the finest 100% virgin wool. Designs, colors, and sizes are customized to your specifications.
The "Majolica" design being hand stitched
"The women are amazing. They sit with these huge canvases in their laps, and then the magic starts...The craftsmanship and attention to detail fascinate me."
— Ann Brandow
UNIQUELY
Customizable
Each rug is truly a work of art. Seamlessly stitched in any size, designers may customize the design, color and proportions to their specifications.
These needlepoint rugs are 'gros point', meaning a larger stitch is used, as opposed to most thin needlepointing.
Made of the highest quality 100% virgin wool, Vermilion Rugs boast a comforting feel and remarkable durability.
