Recreations of classic 17th, 18th, and 19th century European pillows.
The pillow front is handwoven exactly as they were centuries ago in Europe.
Museum quality using New Zealand wool to create tomorrow's antiques.
Type: Aubusson Pillow Cover
Circa: 1990s
Condition: Excellent. Unused with tags
Size: 20x20 in / 50x50 cm
Front: Hand-woven French Gobelins Weave Wool Tapestry
Back: Cotton velvet with hidden zipper
Fringe: Rayon cording
Insert: Not included, pillow cover only. A 22x22 inch insert is recommended to fill out all the corners. Otherwise, if the insert is too small, the pillow will look saggy and flat. We recommend filling our pillow covers with down-feather inserts for a full, high-end look. They have more 'give' than polyester or down alternative inserts so you can easily position the fill into the corners for a superb fit.
Use: Indoor use only
Care:
These cushion covers are made with natural wool so you can not wash them with water. You can dry clean or rub the spot with a wet cloth to clean them.
Smell:
If any smell in the product, this is not a chemical smell. It only smells of the raw material, and it's easily removable. You may put the cushion cover outside in a sunny area, its automatic remover after some time.
This is a beautiful re-creation of antique French handmade aubusson pillow cover.
The pillow front is hand-woven as it was centuries ago in France.
Many hours, often weeks of work and skill went into completing these tapestries by hand and reworking them into a pillow.
They will sit perfectly in a traditional environment or a contemporary space and create an eye catching focal point & a great conversation piece.
Sprinkle these around the house or on a sofa, couch, chair, bench, bed, window seat or car seat.
It makes a great gift to your family or friends.
A treasure to pass through generations.
