The composition features an elegant floral bouquet surrounded by softly scrolling foliage, woven with a painterly quality that gives the surface depth and movement. The olive green ground provides a warm and grounding base, while the layered tones of blush pink ivory muted red and soft gold create a balanced and sophisticated palette. The wool has aged gracefully, developing a subtle patina that enhances the textile’s visual richness without compromising its integrity.

Originally woven for decorative wall or furnishing use, this Aubusson fragment has been professionally repurposed into a pillow, preserving the artistry while allowing it to function as a versatile interior accent. The handwoven wool front is paired with a natural linen backing, offering both durability and tactile contrast. Ideal for curated living spaces, libraries, bedrooms, or layered seating arrangements, this pillow adds historical depth and quiet elegance. Its restrained color palette allows it to integrate seamlessly into both traditional and contemporary interiors while maintaining a strong sense of provenance and authenticity. See less
