Large Antique Needlework and Velvet Pillow in Brown Tones and with Tassel Trim

About the Item

Late 19th/Early 20th C. a large antique pillow measuring 18"h x 40.5"w, featuring a vintage floral tapestry design on the front. The central motif, on a brown background, shows a basket of flowers in muted tones of pink, beige, and green, surrounded by an intricate gold tone scrolling vine pattern. The pillow is framed with a decorative tassel fringe in warm earth tones, while the back is made of solid brown velvet for a plush, luxurious texture. Perfect as a decorative accent, this pillow exudes old-world charm and craftsmanship. The pillow likely originated from Europe, where floral tapestry designs have a long history in traditional home décor. Such decorative pillows, featuring floral motifs and intricate patterns, were popular during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly in France, Italy, and the UK. The style, craftsmanship, and materials used in this pillow reflect European influence, especially in the delicate weaving techniques and use of ornamental tassels, which are commonly found in vintage European textiles.
