Aubusson, the small town in central France that gave its name to one of the world's great weaving traditions, produced tapestries for the royal courts and aristocratic households of Europe for centuries, and examples from the 18th century are found primarily in museum collections.

Each pillow in this collection preserves the refined artistry and soft elegance for which Aubusson weaving is celebrated — floral motifs, pastoral scenes, and classical detailing rendered in the muted, luminous palette of 18th century French taste. The six pillows together form a cohesive and breathtaking decorative statement, ideal for a formal sitting room, library, or bedroom of the highest distinction. Sold as a collection of six.
