Antique Aubusson Armrest Cover with Rose Motif – c.1900s

There’s something quietly poetic about the small fragments of domestic history, like this richly woven armrest cover. Likely crafted in the early 20th century, this antique textile features a soft bouquet of rose-colored florals framed by gold scrollwork—quintessential elements of Aubusson-inspired design. A touch of delicate metallic lace still borders the edges, adding to its charm and formality.

This kind of piece once adorned the arms of elegant French chairs or settees, offering both beauty and protection. Whether used as a textile accent in a shadow box or repurposed for upholstery or design, it tells a story of timeworn refinement.

In our Everyday Château, details like these elevate the ordinary. Layer it on a velvet footstool, pin it to a linen board in your atelier, or let it breathe new life into a sewing project steeped in charm.
