Vintage Equestrian Horse & Rider Wool Needlepoint Pillow

Charming vintage wool needlepoint pillow depicting a beautifully rendered saddled horse accompanied by a traditionally dressed rider or groom. Worked in warm shades of chestnut brown, tobacco, olive, cream, and soft blue, the scene has the wonderful, muted palette and sporting character associated with classic English equestrian interiors.

The wool needlepoint front is finished with a coordinating velvet back and decorative cord trim with knotted corner details. A cotton insert is included, giving the pillow a comfortably full, collected appearance. An especially appealing decorative piece for anyone who loves horses, sporting art, or traditional country-house interiors.

STYLING SUGGESTIONS
Layer into a leather club chair, library sofa, or upholstered bench alongside tartan, velvet, and other traditional textiles. It would be particularly handsome in an equestrian library, tack-room-inspired mudroom, study, or collected English country sitting room paired with antique sporting prints, dark woods, brass, and riding memorabilia.
