A rare and exquisite decorative pillow crafted from a vintage Chinese silk embroidered textile, this piece is a testament to the extraordinary refinement of Chinese needlework traditions. The silk textile features two different embroidered designs — one on the front face and a distinct design on the reverse — giving this pillow a double identity and exceptional versatility as a decorative object.
Chinese silk embroideries of this mid-20th century vintage were produced with a level of technical skill and artistic ambition that is rarely encountered in contemporary textiles. The silk threads retain a luminous sheen and vibrancy that sets them apart from any other material, making this pillow as much a work of art as it is a furnishing. A singular piece for collectors of Asian textiles and fine decorative arts.
