About the Item
An exceptional 17th century Flemish tapestry pillow composed from an original handwoven wool tapestry fragment, attributed to the renowned textile traditions of Flanders in present day Belgium. This piece embodies the artistry and material richness characteristic of early European tapestry weaving, where wool threads were meticulously interlaced to create painterly surfaces and abstracted natural motifs.
The composition presents an earthy, restrained color palette dominated by deep brown, tan, soft green, and ochre tones, offering a sense of quiet sophistication and historical depth. The surface displays authentic age related wear, including areas of thinning and textural variation, which are intrinsic to textiles of this period and contribute to the pillow’s visual and material authenticity.
The reverse has been thoughtfully backed with linen to ensure structural integrity while maintaining the integrity of the antique textile. This pillow is not merely decorative but represents a preserved fragment of European textile history, transformed into a functional object for contemporary interiors.
Ideal for collectors, designers, and connoisseurs of early textiles, this 17th century Flemish tapestry pillow offers a rare opportunity to incorporate museum quality material into a living space with elegance and restraint.
