Authentic Fortuny Aquamarine Velvet & Gold Pillows, Italy, 21st Century
Located in Los Angeles, CA
An exquisite and highly collectible pair of custom pillows in the timeless manner of Mariano Fortuny, rendered in the iconic Orsini Medallion motif in aquamarine and antique gold. Each pillow is centered with a grand, perfectly symmetrical circular medallion — a classic Renaissance cartouche of scrolling acanthus, palmettes, and baroque foliate, executed in luminous metallic gold over a soft, watercolor-like ground of serene aquamarine blue. The outer field continues with an elaborate damask of acanthus plumes and ornamental scrolls, creating a rich, layered tapestry effect. • The gold is a true metallic stenciled finish with a brilliant, liquid luster that catches the light. The tonal variation and slight hand-finished mottling are hallmarks of authentic Fortuny technique. • The aquamarine velvet ground shows a beautiful patinated wash with subtle shifts in tone, from misty blue to seafoam, giving a hand-dyed, antique appearance. • Expertly tailored with custom self-piping in matching aquamarine velvet, with perfectly mitered corners and a plump, tailored silhouette. The reverse of each pillow is upholstered in a sumptuous, solid aquamarine velvet — incredibly soft, rich, and luminous — offering a calm, versatile second styling option and confirming the custom designer workroom finish. Ideal for a sophisticated statement on a cream bouclé sofa...
