Charming vintage decorative floral needlepoint throw / accent pillow:

~ Full of colorful Dutch iris flowers in true to life shades of purple, blue, yellow, and a brick red or maroon shade

~ I am not certain if this is counted cross stitch, wool work or another specialty type of needlework - gorgeous in any case

~ Framing black border, matching fine gauge velvety black corduroy backing and edge piping

~ Perfect versatile size and eye catching rectangular shape

Ready and waiting for your garden party, bed, couch, office, display, collection or gift giving - you will love this!

AGE OR ERA:  True antique / vintage item - this one is hard to date with any certainty due to timeless design and lack of labels or marks.  My best guess would be 1940's to 1960's - midcentury or retro era

MARKINGS:  A very well hidden, integrated stitched NM in the very lower right hand corner.  

METAL / MATERIAL:   The thread on the front has a very heavy thick cottony feel - black backing and edge detail are a nice soft, fine small wale or gauge velvety corduroy 

CLASP / CLOSURE:  No zippers or closures that I could find

MEASUREMENTS:  Aprox 17" x 13" x (very roughly) 4" to 6" thick

WEIGHT:  x

ANECDOTAL, METAPHYSICAL, HISTORY &/or LORE:   The ancient embroidery technique of needlepoint had become a popular way to decorate pillows in the 1700's (or 18th century) and it has enjoyed a spot in our hearts and homes ever since.

Please view & enlarge photographs to closely inspect fine details and to determine the amount of patina and/or wear.  Most older pieces by nature normally have some degree of both and, unless severe, aren't considered damaged and not mentioned.  Especially if obvious and/or prominent in the photos.  Individuals do have varying levels of desire and tolerance for "vintage charm" so do utilize the scroll arrows beside the photos to allow yourself the opportunity to view them all, as they are an important integral part and extension of the description.
