About the Item
A refined early Flemish tapestry fragment dating to the 17th century, transformed into a decorative pillow. Woven entirely by hand in wool, this piece originates from Flanders and features a central shield like medallion framed by abstracted architectural and landscape forms.
The composition reflects Baroque era design sensibilities, with strong structure softened by centuries of use and fading. Earthy golds, mineral blues, warm neutrals, and restrained red accents remain visible, creating a layered and painterly surface. The textile displays honest wear consistent with its age, highlighting the craftsmanship and handwoven construction.
Originally part of a large scale tapestry intended for formal interiors, this fragment has been carefully preserved and finished with a linen backing to complement the historic wool face. The condition is stable, with visible patina that collectors and designers value in early European textiles.
This pillow serves as both a functional decorative object and a collectible example of early Flemish tapestry work, well suited for curated interiors, antique focused spaces, or modern settings seeking depth and authenticity.
