An exquisite and highly romantic pair of couture boudoir pillows, embodying the opulence of French haute couture interiors.
Crafted from the most luscious blush pink silk velvet Each pillow features a rare central embroidered motif of a flowering urn – meticulously hand-embroidered in antique gold metallic bullion threads, olive green and saffron yellow silk. This raised embroidery technique, with its coiled gold purl and shaded silk floss, is characteristic of 19th-century French ecclesiastical and aristocratic textiles from Lyon. Each petal and scroll is sculpted in thread, catching light like jewelry.
The ultimate finishing touch is the sumptuous designer trim: an alternating French silk pom-pom tassel fringe in dusty rose and cream, edged with a fine antique rose braid. This couture passementerie adds playful texture and movement.
Perfect for a Louis XV settee, a master bed, or a Gustavian boudoir chair. In the spirit of interiors by Madeleine Castaing, Nicky Haslam, and de Gournay. These are small-scale jewels, meant for intimate spaces where craftsmanship is appreciated up close.
