Pillow with Antique 18th Century Italian Oxblood Color Velvet

designer :: Quintessentia

new item with vintage elements::

Antique Italian oxblood velvet with gold thread embroidery is combined with an antique rustic, jute fabric on the other side. The velvet is late 18th / early 19th century and was used as a part of a heraldic banner or flag and has patina and a couple of places where it was repaired at some point in its history. The buttons are antique buffalo horn.

Each Q Living pillow is designed by Quintessentia combining vintage and antique fabrics from different time periods and genres. We believe this is a wonderful way to integrate rare and unusual fabrics, aesthetically and artistically, into modern daily life and an opportunity to create something unique and special.

Each pillow is individually sewn in private workshops in Zurich, Switzerland using the best materials, including YKK zippers, handmade trims and design accents. The inserts are 100% down feather-filled, cotton-covered pillows expressly created for Quintessentia. As the pillows are made with vintage or antique fabrics, slight variations of color and pattern between pillows may occur.
