Handwoven in Aubusson, France, the composition features a graceful horizontal bouquet of pink roses resting across a softly striated neutral ground.

The palette is beautifully muted, consisting of blush pink, dusty rose, sage green, warm taupe, and antique beige. Subtle shading within the petals and leaves demonstrates the painterly weaving technique that made Aubusson workshops world renowned. The restrained floral arrangement evokes the Louis XVI aesthetic, with its emphasis on refinement, symmetry, and botanical elegance.

Decorative trim and tassel edging frame the pillow, adding texture and movement while complementing the antique tapestry front. Gentle fading, surface wear, and soft patina throughout are consistent with age and enhance its authenticity.

An elegant and timeless accent, ideal for classical interiors, French country settings, or layered antique textile arrangements. See less
