"America" Schooner Yacht Needlepoint Throw Pillow

Product Description

This America Schooner Yacht Needlepoint Throw Pillow is painstakingly worked in wool yarns to re-create a 19th-century painting in the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation collections of a famous sailing vessel, the schooner yacht America. We love this accent pillow in a den, study, or living room. Makes a great gift for sailing enthusiasts and a lovely addition to a nautical home decorating theme.

Inspiration

The original painting of America resides in the Art Museums of Colonial Williamsburg collection, object #1968.111.1. America won the first formal race between British and American yachts in 1851 and later sailed for North and South during the Civil War.
