This cushion was inspired by the fabric of the Petit Trianon Queen's Bedchamber at Versailles.  The Petit Trianon was the designated estate of Marie-Antoinette. She created a bucolic setting, full of charm and simplicity.The pattern is inspired from the fabric in the Queen’s bedchamber: rose bouquets and cornflowers on a white fabric. The original fabric was embroidered by Marie-Olivier Defarges, from Lyon. This marvellous cloth covers the famous “wheat-ear furniture”, created by Georges Jacob: the wood is sculpted and painted with wheat ears braided with honeysuckle and sprigs of jasmin, embellished with lily-of-the-valley and pine cones. After being dispersed during the Revolution, part of this unique furniture has since been acquired ­by the Palace of Versailles. 
This chart is taken from our spectacular pattern dedicated to Marie-Antoinette.
