Wool Needlepoint King Charles Spaniel Tapestry Cushion Pillow

Needlepoint in the United Kingdom is often referred to as “tapestry” or “canvaswork”, that is, stitched by needlepoint on stiff open grid canvas mesh. When worked on fine weave canvas, it is also known as “Petitpoint”. Our needlepoint designs are hand crafted with only a basic and simple “tent stitch”, and rely on colour changes in the wool yarn to construct the pattern.

Our regular decorative needlepoint pillows have 132 stitches per square inch. Our Petit Point pillows have an incredible 576 stitches per square inch for even greater detail. Several of our pillows are a mix stitch of regular grosse point Needlepoint and Petit Point stitch. They are indeed a beautiful expression of hand artistry and timeless beauty.

The King Charles Spaniel is also known as the English Toy Spaniel, which differs from the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Historically, the true breed was made famous by their association with King Charles II of England and have been linked with English royalty. Charles II was deemed the “Merry Monarch.” Despite all that he had been through, he was remarkable light-hearted. He had a fondness for the style of France, and much of his decorating was modeled after French inspirations. Fleur-de-lys is traditionally a symbol of nobility, often found on coat-of-arm throughout Europe. This Needlepoint pillow pays homage to a king who loved dogs and French designs.
