Small cushion kit Queen at Trianon

Small cushion to sew in cross stitch 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 jasmin, 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 our spectacular pattern dedicated to Marie-Antoinette. The two embroideries depicting the Versailles Palace and Marie-Antoinette are the sixth in the “Museums and Heritage” collection.
Size of motif: 173 stitches wide by 173 stitches high. When embroidered on 12 count (per cm) linen, the finished project measures 29 x 29cm. Size of finished cushion: 30 x 30cm.
