The composition combines softly draped ribbon like swags with a suspended cherry branch rendered in delicate blush and coral tones. The painterly quality of the weaving gives the surface a refined, almost watercolor effect, enhanced by subtle abrash and natural dye variation.

The color palette blends celadon green, warm ivory, terracotta, and faded rose tones, creating a harmonious and romantic aesthetic. Finished with a decorative scalloped trim, this pillow reflects the charm and craftsmanship of Aubusson weaving traditions. It remains in good antique condition with gentle wear consistent with age, making it a sophisticated accent for both classical and transitional interiors. See less
