About the Item
A refined antique pillow crafted from a genuine 17th century Flemish tapestry fragment, featuring a striking figural portrait woven in wool. Produced in Flanders during the height of the Baroque period, this textile reflects the artistic and technical mastery for which Flemish workshops were internationally renowned.
The composition presents a softly rendered face surrounded by abstracted forms and color fields, now mellowed by time into an elegant palette of earth tones, faded crimson, and subdued blue. The natural patina and gentle surface wear reveal the handwoven structure and centuries of history embedded in the textile.
Originally part of a large scale wall tapestry, this fragment has been carefully preserved and repurposed into a decorative pillow, backed in linen to complement the historic wool front. The condition is stable and honest, with visible age related wear that is expected and valued in textiles of this period.
This piece functions as both an interior accent and a collectible fragment of European textile history. Ideal for layered antique settings, curated modern spaces, or collectors seeking authentic early tapestry work transformed into a functional object.
