A sophisticated pair of decorative pillows designed by Melissa Levinson, showcasing authentic 19th century velvet appliqués newly and meticulously applied to a luminous contemporary blue velvet ground. Each pillow features a classical, heraldic-inspired motif—rich in symmetry and sculptural form—executed in antique velvet with subtle tonal variation and age-softened depth that speaks to its historic origins.

The antique appliqués have been carefully positioned and hand-appliquéd, allowing the raised velvet forms and fine detailing to stand out beautifully against the smooth, light-catching blue velvet background. The contrast between the historic velvet elements and the refined modern ground creates a striking yet timeless composition.

Each pillow is finished with an elegant French passementerie pom-pom trim, custom-made in complementary shades of blue and warm brown, lending texture, movement, and a distinctly European sensibility. The backs are completed in a coordinating blue linen, offering a clean, tailored finish. Constructed with hidden zipper closures and luxurious down-filled inserts, these pillows are designed for both comfort and longevity.

These one-of-a-kind pillows exemplify Melissa Levinson’s signature aesthetic—melding historic European textiles with contemporary craftsmanship to create pieces that feel collected, layered, and effortlessly elegant.
