Antique Needlepoint Botanical Accent Pillow with Velvet Backing - Pair Available

A beautifully moody vintage petit point pillow with the kind of old-world floral pattern that instantly adds depth to a room. Worked in wool, the face features an abundant garden of roses and blossoms in faded coral, blush, cream, taupe, tobacco brown and soft blue-gray, all set dramatically against black. The exceptionally fine petit point gives the florals wonderful dimension and texture, while a rich velvet backing finishes the piece beautifully. Petite in scale, it is particularly good layered into a leather chair, tucked onto an antique bench, or mixed among larger pillows where it reads almost like a small piece of textile art. Includes insert.

WHY WE LOVE THIS
The palette is everything. The black ground keeps the traditional florals from becoming overly sweet, while the faded coral, tobacco and blue-gray tones make it particularly beautiful against aged leather, mahogany and other collected textiles. At just 12 inches square, it is a wonderful little punctuation mark rather than an oversized decorative pillow—the sort of detail that makes an old leather chair look as though it has always been there.
