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.

Hand-Painted Icon of the Madonna, Mid-19th Century
Located in Hamburg, DE
This stunning hand-painted icon from the mid-19th century is a remarkable example of religious art steeped in tradition and spiritual symbolism. Icons have long held a significant role in Orthodox Christianity, serving as windows to the divine and tools for prayer and contemplation. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this piece exemplifies the skill and devotion of its maker.
The wooden panel and frame are entirely gilded, lending the icon a luminous and reverent quality. The outlines of the Madonna have been finely etched into the gilding, while her face and hands, along with those of the Christ Child, are delicately painted in oil. This contrast between the warm glow of the gold and the naturalistic rendering of the figures creates a powerful visual and emotional impact.
Adding to its authenticity, the base of the icon features a Cyrillic inscription, hinting at its origins and cultural significance. The craftsmanship and style suggest it was created during the mid-19th century, making it not only a sacred object but also an invaluable piece of history.
This icon is a perfect addition to any collection of religious art or as a meaningful decorative piece for your home. It can be displayed in a devotional space, hung on a gallery wall, or placed on a shelf to create a focal point that inspires reflection and reverence. Whether you are an experienced collector or a first-time buyer, this gilded icon...
