The textile was handwoven in wool more than four centuries ago and would have once formed part of a large narrative or landscape tapestry created for European interiors of the time.

The front showcases beautifully aged foliate and abstract landscape forms in soft, earthy tones of gold, olive green, moss, taupe, and deep brown. The colors have mellowed naturally over centuries, creating a depth and warmth that only true antique textiles can achieve. Each area of wear, thinning, and gentle irregularity tells part of the tapestry’s long history and adds to its authenticity and character.

The fragment has been professionally repurposed into a pillow and finished with a neutral linen backing to allow the antique textile to remain the focal point. This piece is ideal for adding texture, history, and quiet sophistication to a sofa, chair, or bed. It is a meaningful way to bring a genuine piece of European textile history into a contemporary living space while preserving the beauty of the original craftsmanship. See less
