Zabihi Collection Pair of Mid-Century Lion Wool Pillows

About the Item

Striking pair of mid-20th-century wool pillows depicting the pride of persia with 2 fierce lions and a 2 bright symbolic suns. Each cushion features a richly detailed hand-stitched lion with outspread wings holding a sword, set against a sky-blue ground and framed by an ornate foliate wreath. The panels are executed in wool with nuanced shading and strong graphic presence. The backs and boxing are upholstered in a complementary woven striped textile with geometric motifs in saturated tones of burgundy, ochre, forest green, indigo, and ivory, creating a vibrant contrast to the serene blue field of the front panels. Well-scaled at approximately 20 x 21 inches, the pillows make a bold decorative statement—ideal for a sofa, pair of armchairs, or layered atop a bed. A wonderful blend of Persiann heraldic imagery and mid-century decorative sensibility.
