This anonymous 18th-century pillow cover, crafted with delicate embroidery, is a testament to the artistry of textile work from this era. The design, executed in a range of colors, features a central motif of a square surrounded by four corner designs, each with a repeated floral theme. The pillow cover is a prime example of traditional embroidery techniques and showcases the meticulous craftsmanship of the unknown maker, a true reflection of domestic arts in the 18th century.
