The front panel features a richly textured woodland composition, characteristic of Flemish verdure tapestries, with abstracted foliage, tree forms, and layered ground elements rendered in softly aged greens, ochres, and earthy browns.

The wool weave displays centuries of natural wear and patina, offering depth, warmth, and visual complexity that cannot be replicated in modern reproductions. Subtle variations in color and texture reflect the original hand dyed fibers and traditional weaving techniques of the period. The reverse is finished in a neutral linen fabric, allowing the historic textile to remain the focal point.

This pillow works beautifully as an accent on a sofa, armchair, or bed, adding a sense of history and authenticity to both traditional and eclectic interiors. A timeless decorative object that brings Old World character and artisanal craftsmanship into contemporary living spaces. See less
