A breathtaking large vintage French "Boutis" (quilt) discovered during our recent treasure hunt through Paris's charming local brocantes and village flea markets. This exceptional piece embodies the timeless elegance of French country house styling and represents the finest traditions of French textile artistry.
Parisian Discovery
Found during our recent escape to Paris, where we explored intimate neighborhood brocantes rather than the massive tourist markets.
