Pride of Place · Napoleonic Bee Pillow

This exquisite Napoleonic hand-embroidered bee pillow is meticulously sewn by master craftsmen who have studied 17th- and 18th-century fabric and textiles from France and Britain. Because they understand the rich history and cultural tradition inherent in the design, they have re-created fabric that brings out the richness and timelessness of the piece.

Napoleon used his love of bees to symbolize his reign as Emperor — recognizing that bees never sleep, and are therefore always industrious. These 14″ × 18″ heirloom pillows are fully welted to ensure durability. The back is 100% solid linen, fastened by two custom fabric-covered buttons.

The hand-embroidered bees give the pillow opulence and fine-tuned detail, ensuring this piece will be passed down from generation to generation. Available in four colorways: blue, navy, green and gold.
