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.

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.
