Fortuny Pillows



Fortuny is one of the world's most beautiful - and expensive - fabrics retailing at up to $600 per yard for new product. Antique and vintage Fortuny can sell in the thousands of dollars. But Fortuny is too beautiful for just a very wealthy few to enjoy so I like to make it affordable for as many people as possible by creating Fortuny mosaic pillows. This pillow above is created from a central panel of the Peruviano pattern with borders of Fiaccola and Glicine. I save every scrap to create these one of a kind Fortuny mosaic pillows. This one is $95 at Elegant Artifacts with free shipping in the USA. All my pillows are handmade in the USA with custom dyed trims, silk backs and plump feather and down filling.

Some of my antique Fortuny pillows have sold for thousands of dollars, but I do try to always have some that are as reasonably priced as I can possibly make them.
