When Is a Pillow More Than a Pillow?

When is a pillow more than a pillow? When it's work of art.

This is a one of a kind, completely unique decorative Portrait Pillow consisting of a signed original painting of Lucrezia Borgia mounted on sumptuous Italian silk damask with handmade Brunschwig onion tassel fringe on the sides. Top and bottom do not have trim. The portrait of Lucrezia Borgia is hand painted on fine linen canvas and signed by the artist. This is not a silk screened image, it is an original work of art. The frame surrounding the portrait is antique 19th century trim. The pillow is filled with a feather and down insert and is backed with corded velvet in deep red which coordinates with the silk damask. It is approximately 15 inches square. This pillow could work equally well in an opulent setting or as the focal point in a minimalist interior.
