This beautiful pillow is made from a piece of an antique oriental carpet. I love the patina of time that these rugs wear so well. And that also makes them the perfect addition to any home decor from modern loft to country farmhouse to studious library. I had fun with this piece pairing the rug with a wool backing made from a pair of recycled trousers. The pockets are still perfectly functional. The pillow is stuffed with a beautiful quality eco-friendly bamboo blend filling.
