Antique English Hound Needlepoint Pillow Cover

A richly detailed vintage wool needlepoint pillow cover featuring a cream sighthound-style dog set against a dramatic dark ground with stylized florals in coral, rust, butter yellow, and deep blue-green. The composition has that wonderful old-world, collected quality — elegant, slightly whimsical, and beautifully suited to an English country, equestrian, or layered traditional interior.

The front is worked in wool needlepoint with a dark, moody floral field and finished with twisted teal cording and looped corner details. The back is a dark, rich teal velvet, giving the piece a more elevated and luxurious feel than a standard needlepoint cover.

DIMENSIONS
Approximately 16" square

CONDITION
Vintage condition with light wear consistent with age and use. Wool needlepoint front presents beautifully; dark rich teal velvet backing adds softness and depth. Pillow insert not included unless otherwise noted.

STYLING SUGGESTIONS
Style it on a leather club chair, antique settee, guest bed, or library bench layered with tartan, velvet, or worn linen. It would be especially striking in an equestrian-inspired room, a dog lover’s study, or a collected English country vignette where the dark ground and teal backing can play against wood, brass, books, and traditional upholstery.
