PLEASE NOTE On a genuine 17th century verdure tapestry we would of course expect to see evidence confirming its 400 years of use, such as loose missing threads, areas of general wear, perhaps areas of re weaving / restoration/ patching , lines of separation within the weaving, sometimes areas of sun fading and brittle threads. All quite normal for great age and type

FOOTNOTE All my pillows are hand made by myself incorporating wherever possible rare early textiles
I travel extensively throughout Europe to locate beautiful hard to find textiles , some of which can be up to 400 years old and of course will show evidence of this immense age
Rarely totally symmetrical , with perfectly straight lines, without wear ,evenness in colour etc
I work as best I can to retain all of this inherent quirkiness to obtain a gently time worn faded grandeur appeal that only be achieved over centuries of use
Your pillow will be perfectly imperfect.
