This little basket is based on a detail from Marie-Antoinette’s headboard.

The floral motif was inspired by an embroidery project for the Queen’s quilt (bedspread). When, in 1786, Marie-Antoinette wished to renew the summer furniture, i.e. the textile decor of her great room, the Garde-Meuble called on Lyonnais embroiderer and painter Jean-François Bony to create the embroidery for the bed and seats to match the new mural.

The “ Marie-Antoinette Tapestry ” collection, of which this basket is a part, is available in a range of products that reproduce the design of the quilt, the only original element to survive the Revolution.
