About the Item

Antique Brussels tapestry pillow from the 17th century, constructed from genuine Flemish woven fragments. Tapestries from this region were originally designed as large narrative or decorative wall pieces, often featuring detailed natural and botanical imagery. In this case, the original composition has been reduced and reassembled, resulting in a layered and textural surface. \n\nThe front shows clear differences between sections, with tonal variation ranging from light beige to deeper brown and olive. Areas of wear and fading have softened the original design, creating a more subtle and understated appearance. The remaining hints of color and pattern provide contrast against the otherwise neutral ground. The backing is later and made of plain linen, providing structural support. The pillow shows signs of age including fading, minor thread thinning, and irregularities in the weave. These characteristics are consistent with a textile of this period and do not affect its usability. This piece works well as a decorative accent in interiors that incorporate antique textiles, natural materials, and layered design elements.
