What makes this piece truly special is that the textile was never intended to be decorative accent sized, it was once part of a large scale tapestry created for grand interiors centuries ago. The colors have softened beautifully over time, showing layers of muted blue green, warm gold, and subtle floral details that are impossible to replicate today.

The value of this piece lies in both its age and craftsmanship. Each thread was woven by hand using traditional techniques that predate industrial textile production. The surface shows gentle wear and patina from age, which adds depth, character, and authenticity rather than detracting from its beauty.

Professionally finished as a pillow with a neutral linen backing, this piece is ready to be used while still honoring its history. It is ideal for collectors or designers looking to add genuine European textile history to a space. See less
