18” Antique quilt sofa pillow, RARE European silk quilting, rustic farmhouse stunning toss cushion, prim quilted worn pillow, pioneer woman

Exceedingly RARE European silk quilt has has been made into a stunning 18" sofa pillow here in my 1787 farmhouse studio. I have never seen silk in a quilt like this- and I was only able to salvage one piece. I could not believe the spring colors in yellow, salmon and greens- and the rustic tattered/worn textures ( I believe it to be 100 years old). The pictures do not do the fine stitching and shimmering soft timeworn silk justice. I really liked the primitive rustic farmhouse intricate quilting - each of the squares are only one inch and display such intricate, ancient stitching. When I made this pillow, I made the backing with the very same quilt and matched an edge at the top seam to continue the design to the back. This adds to the style, charm, quality, durability and cost of the sofa throw cushion as more of the antique textile was used. I have just one piece of this EXTREMELY rare quilt- one, here, for a pillow and another for perhaps a cat and horse bowl filler. After that, it is gone forever.

It is filled with a down alternative premium pillow form. Approximately 18 x 14.

This pillow is large enough to display on a sofa or a den easy chair - or even as a sham on a queen/king bed. It’s perfect for any rustic farmhouse, shabby cottage, prim, pioneer woman or French country decors wherever one wants an OOAK touch of antique, tattered, timeworn, rustic textured nostalgia.

As with any unique item, returns are not accepted and there are wonderfully distressed-worn-tattered-tea staining which adds to this antique quilt pillow's charm. Not a toy. Spot clean only.
