Each pillow is centered with a grand, perfectly symmetrical circular medallion — a classic Renaissance cartouche of scrolling acanthus, palmettes, and baroque foliate, executed in luminous metallic gold over a soft, watercolor-like ground of serene aquamarine blue. The outer field continues with an elaborate damask of acanthus plumes and ornamental scrolls, creating a rich, layered tapestry effect.

• The gold is a true metallic stenciled finish with a brilliant, liquid luster that catches the light. The tonal variation and slight hand-finished mottling are hallmarks of authentic Fortuny technique.
• The aquamarine velvet ground shows a beautiful patinated wash with subtle shifts in tone, from misty blue to seafoam, giving a hand-dyed, antique appearance.
• Expertly tailored with custom self-piping in matching aquamarine velvet, with perfectly mitered corners and a plump, tailored silhouette.

The reverse of each pillow is upholstered in a sumptuous, solid aquamarine velvet — incredibly soft, rich, and luminous — offering a calm, versatile second styling option and confirming the custom designer workroom finish.

Ideal for a sophisticated statement on a cream bouclé sofa, a settee, or a primary bed. The aquamarine and gold palette evokes Venetian palazzos and the Mediterranean sea, perfect for Modern Regency, Coastal Grand Millennial, Hollywood Regency, and Italian Luxury interiors. See less
