Our Chinoiserie Monkey throw pillow carries a chinoiserie pattern, hooked in wool. The loops are pulled through the backing one at a time, so the face carries a raised pile you can feel.
Brightens a neutral sofa or a bedroom chair without shouting. One hooked piece among smoother covers gives a sofa physical variety no pattern can fake.
A pink monkey in a green jacket holds a pink parasol over its head, tail curling behind, on a cream ground edged in pink. A tuft of green sits at the very top of the parasol. Chinoiserie in its lighter mood.

Wool pulled loop by loop through a backing, the way hooked rugs have been made for two centuries, is what gives this piece its depth and its weight in the hand. Wool is why pieces like this last: it resists crushing, holds its dye, and looks better used than new. A thoughtful gift for anyone who treasures botanical artistry at home.
