Antique French Needlepoint Shorthorn Ox Tapestry Pillow
About the Item
79144 Antique French Needlepoint Shorthorn Ox Tapestry Pillow, 02'09 x 01'09. This exquisite antique French needlepoint tapestry pillow is a remarkable piece that showcases the artistry and craftsmanship of early 20th-century France. Featuring a stately prize Roan Shorthorn Ox, the tapestry’s design pays homage to the pastoral heritage and agrarian pride of the era. The ox, rendered with extraordinary detail and vivid coloration, stands against a verdant landscape with soft, earthy tones, creating a tableau that is both captivating and serene. The intricate needlepoint technique reflects the precision and skill of artisans who labored to create works of enduring beauty, making this pillow a true testament to the artistry of its time.
The rich tapestry pillow is bordered by a sumptuous multicolored fringe, perfectly complementing the warm tones of the ox and its surroundings. This thoughtful detail adds an additional layer of elegance, evoking the decorative grandeur of the French countryside. The pastoral scene is further enhanced by the subtle interplay of colors and shading, lending depth and dimension to the composition. Such refinement is indicative of French decorative arts during the 19th century, when needlepoint and tapestry work were highly valued not only for their functionality but also as a form of artistic expression.
The reverse side of the pillow is crafted with a luxurious velvet backing, complete with buttons. The choice of velvet underscores the opulence of the piece, while the buttons reflect its practical utility, allowing the cover to be removed and cared for with ease. This combination of elegance and utility speaks to the thoughtfulness of its design, ensuring that this needlepoint tapestry pillow was as much a treasured decorative accent as it was a functional item in its original setting. The durability of the materials and the meticulous finishing details are hallmarks of French craftsmanship.
This antique French pillow is not merely a decorative item but a historical artifact, capturing the spirit of rural life during a time when the natural world was celebrated through art. Whether displayed on a fine antique settee or a modern sofa, this piece offers a timeless elegance that transcends eras. It serves as a conversation piece, a link to the pastoral traditions of France, and a stunning example of the enduring beauty of handcrafted textiles. Perfect for collectors or admirers of fine antique decor, this needlepoint pillow is a rare and exquisite find.
