About the Item

Pair of Sapphire Velvet Pillows with 19th Century Gold Metallic Floral Embroidery and Antique Gold Lace Trim detail. A pair of jewel-like treasures, these exquisite accent pillows are crafted from sumptuous sapphire blue velvet and adorned with rare 19th-century French ecclesiastical embroidery. Each pillow features a central hand-embroidered floral motif – a delicate blooming peony or chrysanthemum – meticulously stitched in faded rose, blush, and antique gold metallic threads. The embroidery technique, with its raised gold bullion couching and shaded silk floss, is characteristic of antique liturgical vestments and aristocratic 19th-century textiles from Lyon, France. The flower is rendered with such artistry that each petal catches the light. Framing the velvet is a vertical border of authentic 19th-century antique gold metallic bobbin lace, intricately worked in a scalloped, fan-like pattern – a detail that elevates these from decorative pillows to textile art. The reverse is finished in a contrasting slate-blue silk with subtle iridescence, creating a luxurious, two-tone effect. These are small-scale, intimate pillows – perfect for layering on a settee, adorning a boudoir chair, or as the finishing touch on a curated bed in a Parisian-inspired interior.
