About the Item

This striking pillow is a refined fusion of historical reverence and luxurious modern design. At its heart lies a 19th century ecclesiastical textile featuring intricate gold metallic embroidery with scrolling foliage and a central medallion monogrammed with “IHS”—a Christogram symbolizing Jesus Christ. The embroidery is meticulously worked onto a creamy silk ground, with ornate gilt borders adding architectural structure and solemn beauty. Rich burgundy silk velvet panels frame the corners, adding depth and opulence to the overall design. The edges are trimmed with a charming pom-pom tassel fringe in a matching deep red, enhancing its decorative appeal with playful texture. The reverse is crafted in a smooth, coordinating olive-toned silk that provides a subtle contrast and completes the piece with elegant simplicity. Filled with a plush down insert, this pillow offers both comfort and heirloom quality. It’s an ideal statement for traditional or sacred-inspired interiors, celebrating craftsmanship and devotion through design.
