"Embroidered Bolster Pillow Hungarian Folk Art ""??r??sos"

Traditional richly embroidered Hungarian folkart bolster pillow. Transylvania is not only the land of Bram Stoker's Dracula, but also host to the most beautiful monochrome embroidery! Transylvanian Spring is a celebration of the ecclesiastic & folk embroideries found in this region of Romania. Cushion cover from Hungarian vintage hand embroidered cloth. rsos, written embroidery, a true expression of Kalotaszeg & Transylvanian culture & the pride of its people, adorns textiles for use in the home & for decoration. The first pieces [approximately] date back to the 18th Century. Wall hangings were produced to commemorate ceremonies & as gifts for the church. Girls would sew their dowries, comprised of pillows, sheets, & bedspreads, as well as elaborately decorated dresses that included ribbons & beadwork. I cleaned the original pillow, restored it, & sewed it into a new shape to fit the decoration goals perfectly in today's modern home culture. These pillows are hand washable & ironable.
