Chinoiserie Poinsettia: a throw pillow that features 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. Set it against smooth linen or velvet and the texture contrast does the styling work for you.
A red poinsettia opens wide across a cream hooked ground, growing from a blue and white chinoiserie pot, with dark navy piping at the edge. The pot is what sets it apart from ordinary Christmas florals. It pairs naturally with blue and white porcelain.

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. These are made in limited seasonal quantities. The wool is why this one goes back into the box every January instead of into the bin. A wonderful gift for anyone who treasures botanical artistry at home.
