Moroccan Velvet Pillow - Cobalt Black A177460 Printed with oil basedThe small scale medallions repeated across the fabric are influenced by the Moroccan tile work often seen in the homes of North Africa. Painted in the artist's bright bohemian colors, the tiles warm and brighten any space, just like the Moroccan sun. This design began in O'Brien's sketchbook, was printed on silk velvet, then hand painted in small batches by artisans in Philadelphia. Dye is applied by hand in layers on the velvet fiber surface.
