Pair of Vintage Echo Pink Silk Shell Fabric with Irish Linen Cushion Pillow

About the Item

This cushion is a one-of-a-kind and part of a sustainability project. It has been created from an up-cycled, recycled luxury fabric, used with the intentions of promoting a more eco-friendly environment by using already existing materials. We both celebrate and cherish the past and take care with rare and precious vintage and antique materials. Through layers of carefully added backing the delicate fabric has been fortified for longevity and thus preserved. (The original designer/brand has been fully credited below) Description: Custom-made one-of-a-kind pair of luxury cushions (pillows) created from an exquisite ‘vintage collection’ silk Echo fashion scarf in a peachy pink color with stylized Classic shell design. A very delicate silk in perfect unused condition and beautifully soft to the touch. From a vintage designer boutique in Palm Beach, Florida. In 1923 Americans Edgar & Theresa Hyman founded ‘Echo’ scarves on their wedding day, naming the company by using his initials. The business grew and was strong enough by 1929 to survive the Depression. Echo was one of the most prominent and prolific manufacturers of women’s patriotic scarves during wartime. They described the wartime culture and encourage optimism through propaganda, many displaying instructional directions. The scarves in this period used nylon and other non-essential fabric. Interestingly in 1984, ‘Echo’ became the sole licensee for Polo/Ralph Lauren scarf’s and toady makes scarves for the Metropolitan Museum and MoMA. The two pillows are identical and look spectacular together as a pair. Unused, box new and in perfect condition. With an essence of Rococo, classical, romantic and Italian grotto, they are extremely beautiful. Reminiscent of an ornamental clam shell motif often used as an architectural accent in American furniture, this cushion would be well suited to piece of Chippendale. The perfect home accessory for a beach house with a nautical theme, a bathroom, poolside or pretty showpiece for a bedroom decor. We also have some Oscar del la Renta shell pattern silk scarf cushions listed as well. Backed in new 100% pure Irish linen, the aristocrat of textiles and certified by the Irish Linen Guild, lined in a layer of natural bamboo wadding, filled with new plush duck feather insert and a concealed zip. The traditional oatmeal color linen is a combination of the unbleached raw color of the natural flax plant on the weft intertwined with pristine white on the warp, resulting in a beautiful mottled effect. A pair of contemporary cushions (pillows) constructed with antique elements by using fragments of precious fabric. Handcrafted in Ireland.
