VINTAGE VICTORIAN BERLIN WORK NEEDLEPOINT ORIENTAL RUG PATTERN PILLOW - $38 - (Chicago, IL)
0 false 18 pt 18 pt 0 0 false false false VINTAGE VICTORIAN BERLIN WORK NEEDLEPOINT ORIENTAL RUG PATTERN PILLOW I’ve owned this pillow for over 30 years, but it has been packed away for some time. It is so vividly and brightly colored (red, black, greens light blue, purple peach and a hint of yellow)…in a pattern similar to an oriental rug. The pillow is all hand done, I think this is Berlin work, it is an embroidery that resembles needlepoint. I believe this to be European, perhaps Hungarian or Austrian; it looks like their colorful work to me. There are no flaws or fading to this pillow, the back is a pinky-beige satin that shows some signs of age but not in bad shape. It is lightly stuffed with real down and is delightfully ‘scrunchy’. I see that there is a spot about an inch long where it needs restitching, along the seam in the middle of the one shorter side (this is the side where it was hand-stitched closed. It measures 15 ½ by 11 ½ inches. Would be striking on a chair, Victorian rocker, wicker or on a bed, as a rich, warm and colorful accent. Buyer pays shipping. Please ask questions.
