America Accent Pillow

The schooner yacht America made history in 1851 by winning the first formal racing competition between British and American yachts. Thereafter, the trophy was known as the America's Cup. The America had a long and interesting history, including sailing for both the North and South during the Civil War. James C. Bard's (1815-97) original oil painting, now in the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation's folk art collection, inspired this dramatic piece. Flawlessly made..others created as originals by talented artists and perfect for your cottage or bungalow. The finest in hand made needlepoint, petitpoint, mixed stitch or hooked pillows...and many of the designs are licensed images from the Colonial Williamsburg and National Audubon Societies.
