Anthismi Vintage Pillow Cover

A woven story
A thought, a philosophy
Each is nostalgia

DESCRIPTION

Anthismi (Ανθισμοί): Greek for blossoms—referring to winter flowers woven as symbols of resilience and renewal.

Handwoven in hand-dyed sheep’s wool, the vivid red blooms speak to vitality, while the deep background evokes fertile soil and the shadowed season from which new life emerges. This pillow carries that duality into the present—an emblem of endurance, growth, and the enduring poetry of handmade craft.

Anthismi (Ανθισμοί) holds powerful meaning in Greek folk art. Winter flowers symbolize resilience, beauty born from adversity, and the promise of return. They were traditionally woven into textiles to safeguard the home and invite renewal during the darker months.
