Clay red and cocoa brown tones appear along the border while olive and sage greens soften the botanical details. The colors are rich but naturally faded in a way only a true 1500s Flemish tapestry can achieve.

The handwoven wool surface shows classic Brussels shading with dimensional pears clustered grapes and scrolling leaves. The age patina and gentle wear throughout the textile are consistent with a sixteenth century weaving and add to its authentic historic charm. The back is finished in a clean neutral linen that balances the richly colored front.

This pillow is a rare and refined decorative piece offering Old World depth and texture. It works beautifully in both traditional and modern interiors adding visual warmth and European character. See less
