LAYAWAY AVAILABLE

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 centuries of use an achieve

Your pillow will be perfectly imperfect.
