An exceptional late 17th-century Flemish hand-woven wool and silk tapestry fragment custom-upholstered into a luxury accent pillow.

The main weave features rich wool and silk threads in lapis blue, ochre yellow, soft blush pink, and forest green. The central motif is flanked by period tapestry border trim with interlocking guilloché and floral roundels, separated by silver/metallic lace tape braid, finished with twisted gold cord along all edges, and backed with a high-grade silk dupioni lining.
