Although their exact pedigree is unknown, they were likely acquired in the Middle East (possibly Turkey) or North Africa. The pillows appear quite old with some expected discoloration, stains, and a loosening in the weave at the seam of one of the pillows due to age. The fill used to stuff these pillows is also a bit of a mystery. Two have a fill that is soft like wool or cotton. The third has a firm fill that feels somewhat crunchy -- like horsehair or buckwheat. Buckwheat hulls are a centuries old pillow filling material, and if I had to guess, I would put my money on buckwheat. If you are searching for pillows that have an authentically antique look and feel, then these are your pillows! The minor imperfections detailed here do not detract from the overall look of these beautiful pillows, but they do enhance their unique, antique appearance.

The two yellow pillows measures approximately 16” x 20” and use the same design and colors front to back. The blue pillow measures roughly 18” x 20” and has an ivory/black striped pattern on back. See less
