1850 French Aubusson Pillow
A poetic accent for a layered bed, an heirloom chair, or nestled among a collection of timeworn textiles. This antique pillow, crafted from a mid-19th century French Aubusson tapestry, offers a quietly regal presence. Its palette—muted by time—blends sun-faded ochres, blush, and moss into a painterly rhythm of floral abstraction. The central motif, once perhaps a garland or bouquet, now reads like a memory softened at the edges. The texture carries the gentle irregularity of handwoven wool, with areas of wear that only enhance its storied grace. Originally part of a larger wall tapestry, this fragment has been thoughtfully transformed into a pillow—bridging the decorative past with present-day comfort.
