Madame Needle

Cushion inspired by the fabric of the Petit Trianon Queen's Bedchamber.
The Petit Trianon was the designated estate of Marie-Antoinette.
She created a bucolic setting, full of charm and simplicity.
This is an evocation of the fabric in the Queen’s bedchamber: rose bouquets and cornflowers on a white fabric.
The original fabric was embroidered by Marie-Olivier Defarges, from Lyon. This marvellous cloth covers the famous "wheat-ear furniture", created by Georges Jacob. The wood is sculpted and painted with wheat ears braided with honeysuckle and sprigs of jasmine, embellished with lily-of-the-valley and pine cones.
After being dispersed during the Revolution, part of this unique furniture has since been acquired ­by the Palace of Versailles.
This chart is taken from spectacular pattern dedicated to Marie-Antoinette.
