Antique Gobelin Pillow Featuring 18th-Century Tapestry Fragment
Located in Hamburg, DE
Immerse yourself in the charm of the 18th century with this exquisite antique pillow, crafted from a fragment of a historical Gobelin tapestry. This unique piece showcases a delightful scene of a child with his dog, intricately woven and full of character. The tapestry fragment, despite having a few holes, has been lovingly hand-stitched onto an old linen pillow, preserving its beauty and historical significance.
Gobelins, named after the renowned Gobelins Manufactory in Paris, were highly prized in the 18th century for their detailed and vibrant tapestry work. These tapestries were often commissioned by royalty and the elite to decorate palaces and grand homes, featuring intricate scenes from mythology, history, and everyday life. The craftsmanship involved in creating a Gobelin tapestry was exceptional, with skilled artisans spending months, sometimes years, to complete a single piece.
The fragment used in this pillow is a testament to the exceptional artistry of the Gobelins weavers. It depicts a charming scene of a child with his loyal dog, rendered with remarkable detail and expression. Despite the presence of some holes, which add to its antique charm, the tapestry fragment remains a beautiful and evocative piece of art. It has been carefully hand-sewn onto an old linen pillow, enhancing its historical authenticity and ensuring its preservation.

Late 19th Century French Aubusson Tapestry Cushion with Rococo Style
Located in Dallas, TX
79199 Late 19th Century Antique French Aubusson Tapestry Cushion, 01'09 x 01'06 x 00'06. Woven with whispers of bygone grandeur, this handwoven wool French Aubusson tapestry cushion from the Late 19th Century captures the lyrical heart of a pastoral fable, rendered in threads of gentle nostalgia and refined artistry. At its center, a fox gazes longingly upward toward a pair of birds perched delicately on a tree branch, evoking the timeless tale of La Fontaine’s The Fox and the Crow—a moral parable spun into the language of tapestry. The scene is framed by a lush wreath of scrolling acanthus leaves and voluptuous blossoms—roses, peonies, and wildflowers—blooming in softened tones of pink, ochre, and antique gold.
Each carefully handwoven detail reveals the elegant precision of the Aubusson weaver’s loom, where every knot and weft captures a painterly sensitivity to light, form, and emotion. The background shimmers with subtle gradations of mossy green and parchment beige, conjuring the feel of a sun-dappled glade, while the figures themselves seem to pause in narrative stillness—caught in a moment of wit, desire, and the age-old dance of cunning and vanity. The Aubusson pillow becomes a miniature stage for moral reflection, set within the poetic landscape of 19th-century French salon decor.
Beneath the pastoral charm lies the hallmark of the Aubusson tradition: a low-warp tapestry technique prized for its fine execution and seamless color transitions. This cushion, originally born of a larger wall tapestry fragment, has been lovingly preserved and reimagined with a sumptuous velvet backing—ensuring the legacy of the weaver’s hand continues to offer comfort and delight. The delicately frayed edges and mellowed palette speak not of wear, but of history—an aged beauty that softens with time, like a well-loved verse recited over generations.
