Silk Velvet Bed Pillow w/ 19th C. Appliqué

About the Item

This luxurious bed pillow is a richly detailed decorative piece crafted from cream-colored silk velvet. The focal point is an exquisite 19th-century French embroidery applique, featuring a romantic arrangement of floral motifs and foliage. The embroidery is intricately done in a combination of metallic threads and chenille, adding dimension and a subtle, antique shimmer that plays beautifully against the soft luster of the velvet. At the center of the design is a neoclassical-style urn overflowing with delicately rendered blossoms and curling leaves, radiating a sense of historic opulence and hand-crafted artistry. The applique is carefully stitched onto the velvet front, preserving the authenticity and charm of the antique textile. The pillow is edged with an opulent silk tassel fringe in a palette of deep red, gold, olive, and ivory, which adds texture and a playful yet elegant finish. The reverse side is made from the same cream silk velvet, maintaining continuity and luxury from every angle. A plush down insert completes the piece, offering both visual richness and supreme comfort—ideal for layering on a well-appointed bed.
