An extraordinary pair of authentic Fortuny pillows created from a rare set of original Fortuny draperies dating to the 1940s, once hanging in a magnificent Italian villa. These textiles embody the romantic grandeur and intellectual artistry for which the Fortuny atelier is revered, carrying with them both historical significance and unmistakable presence.

The pillow fronts showcase the rich, painterly hand of Fortuny’s legendary Venetian printing process—subtle tonal variations, softly saturated hues, and the depth that only true age and craftsmanship can produce. The fabric’s gentle patina speaks to decades of life in a refined European interior, lending warmth, authenticity, and soul that cannot be replicated in later production.

Carefully repurposed to honor the integrity of the original drapery panels, the textiles have been thoughtfully cut and positioned to highlight the strength and symmetry of the design. Each pillow has been newly constructed with complementary linen backs, hidden zipper closures, and luxurious down-filled inserts, seamlessly blending historic textile art with modern functionality.

These pillows are not merely decorative accents but collectible Fortuny artifacts—imbued with provenance, history, and the quiet elegance of old-world Italy. Ideal for a curated interior, whether layered into a traditional setting or juxtaposed within a more contemporary space.
