Tapestry Cushions

There’s something comforting about cushions that feel like they belong in your home. The kind you don’t just toss on a sofa, you admire them for a moment first. Our tapestry cushion covers and tapestry decorative pillows have that effect. Each one is woven, not printed, and the difference shows the second you touch it.

The designs come from places and people that inspire us, gardens, quiet streets, beloved paintings. Every tapestry pillow cover feels like a little piece of art you can live with. Made from soft cotton, they’re strong enough for everyday use but rich enough to look like they’ve been passed down through time.

They aren’t loud or flashy; they simply bring character to a room. And sometimes, that’s all a space really needs.

The Story Behind the Fabric

Tapestry weaving has never been about speed. It’s about patience. Generations ago, artisans sat before wooden looms in France and Belgium, weaving stories thread by thread. Those traditions haven’t vanished, they just live quietly in homes like yours.

Most of our tapestry pillows and luxury cushion covers are still woven in Belgium on jacquard looms, the same type used for centuries. Some patterns trace back to Renaissance paintings; others take cues from Impressionist art or nature itself. The cherubs from Raphael’s Madonna of San Sisto, the Bayeux Tapestry’s Norman conquest, and the village scenes by Robert Pejman all find new life here.

Run your hand over the surface and you’ll feel tiny rises and dips, a rhythm that printed fabrics never have. That’s what makes vintage tapestry pillows so special. They’re not only decorative; they carry a quiet history.

Luxury Cushion Covers That Feel Like Heirlooms

Our luxury cushion covers are woven to last and designed to draw the eye without taking over a room. You’ll find soft golds, deep blues, gentle greens, colors that mix easily with modern sofas or antique chairs. The invisible zipper keeps the design clean and makes it easy to change inserts whenever you like.

Try grouping two or three tapestry decorative pillows together. Mix patterns, a peacock beside a village, flowers beside birds. The combinations are endless, and they always seem to work. Each one adds warmth and texture, turning a seat into something that feels lived in and loved.

Frequently Asked Questions

A tapestry cushion cover isn’t printed, it’s woven. The design is part of the fabric itself. That’s why the colors stay vivid and the surface feels textured. Over time, they soften slightly, the way a favorite blanket does, but they never lose their beauty.

Yes. Most of our tapestry pillows are crafted from 100% cotton or cotton-rich blends. The fibers breathe, wear well, and age gracefully. They’re the kind of fabric that feels cool in summer and comforting in winter.

Many of our tapestry cushion covers come from Belgium, a place known for fine weaving for over 500 years. The artisans there work on jacquard looms that allow intricate detail while keeping the old methods alive.

They’re low maintenance. Give them a light vacuum or shake to remove dust, and if a spill happens, spot clean gently. For a full wash, dry cleaning is safest. Avoid bright, direct sunlight for long hours, and your tapestry pillow covers will look new for years.

There’s no wrong way. Use a vintage tapestry pillow or two on a leather armchair, add floral ones to a window seat, or mix them with plain cushions for contrast. They look beautiful anywhere — and somehow always seem to tell a story.
