c.1880 The Best Antique English Folk Art Hand-Beaded Pillow Ever

About the Item

After collecting antique English bead-work for over 40 years, we believe this fabulous pillow to be one of the finest examples in existence. The panel depicting a much earlier era, was probably originally a fireplace screen and somebody had the wherewithal to conserve it making it into this pillow. This hand-beaded pillow shows Victorian handiwork at it's absolute finest. If you admire and collect only the best, look no further as this is it!!
