This beautiful hand-stitched wool needlepoint pillow features an elegant Christmas angel rendered in rich, detailed tent-stitch work—far superior to printed or machine-woven holiday cushions. The design showcases a central angel with flowing robes and gold accents, surrounded by traditional Christmas colorwork that displays clear hand-crafted shading and depth. The pillow is generously sized at 13.5 inches square and an impressive 5 inches thick, giving it a plush, decorator-grade presence that elevates sofas, reading chairs, holiday vignettes, or fireside arrangements. The fully removable velvet-backed cover with a working zipper further places this piece in the high-quality category of mid-to-late 20th century needlepoint decor.
