Petit Trianon Queen's Bed Chamber Cushion
$150.00
$109.00
This cushion is inspired by the fabric of the Queen's Bedchamber in Versailles Palace and is the small version of the large cushion. The sumptuous drapes in the Queen’s Bedchamber are known as “summer furniture”, as they were installed from spring to autumn. Known as “gros de Tours”, a heavy taffeta decorated with a cloud of flowers, ribbons and peacock feathers, also known as “The Queen’s Brocade”. The original fabric was woven in Lyon by the Desfarges Brothers. It was dispersed after the Revolution and was re-woven in the 20th Century by Maison Lamy & Gautier, again in Lyon. Just as admirable as the wall hangings are the borders composed of roses and lilac. They are woven on an “apple green” base.
If you can visit the Palace, take time to admire the alcove, the couch and cushions, the chairs, the fireguard and the stools, all different, but all inspired by this same motif. A real delight!
Here is a pattern chart to realize a large cushion with main motif and bordures of the Queen’s Bedchamber fabric in Versailles Palace.
This kit contains:
- full-colour pattern chart printed on two 60 x 28cm sheets of paper;
- one 40 x 40cm piece of 12 count embroidery linen, color off-white;
- one 40 x 40cm piece of Sajou 100% cotton fabric with the same motif, from our Versailles collection for the back;
- 26 cards of Retors du Nord embroidery thread n°s: 2018, 2023, 2025, 2026, 2028, 2034, 2038, 2042, 2221, 2223, 2234, 2332, 2340, 2409, 2443, 2447, 2469, 2536, 2567, 2570, 2749, 2780, 2847, 2882;
