Pair of Large Vintage Italian Artist Edmond Bacci Backed in Irish Linen Pillow

About the Item

Custom made large pair of luxury pillows (cushions) created from a rare vintage fabric by midcentury artist Edmund Bacci in an attractive abstract pattern, backed in new pure Irish linen, filled with new duck and down feather insert and a concealed zip. Italian artist Edmond Bacci (1913-1978) was born in Venice where he studied with Ettore Tito and Virgilio Guidi at the Accademia di Belle Arti. He has participated in the Venice Biennale many times and his work is on display within the prestigious Guggenheim Museum collections. His painting theme of cosmic genesis and destruction is expressed through swirling atmospheric color, predominately using the three primaries red, blue and yellow, parallel to the Modern era. Following WWII many artists found themselves designing for interior projects in a commercial way that they hadn’t before. These fabrics were still highly exclusive and in limited edition quantities at the time. Bacci designed this particular piece for the ‘Master Painters Collection’. Screen printed on a thick, soft, cotton sateen in rich neutral tones. From an Estate sale - the cloth exhibits some signs of age and slight fading, but is in great vintage condition and completely undamaged. To the right of the central panel is light brown and on the other half a darker shade, laid over this is detailed organic black and white pattern. Note the artist’s signature in handwritten letting featuring on the right hand side almost as if it were an artwork. We have enough fabric for a small batch but not every one will feature the logo. Would fit perfectly into a contemporary setting. The fabric has a beautiful soft sumptuous feel to the touch. It is 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 an exquisite mottled effect. This bold, oversized cushion adds a dramatic statement piece to an interior whether contemporary or traditional, and would look fabulous paired with wooden or brown leather furniture. We only had a small amount of fabric but enough to make a matching set. We have now made up all the pieces and have only a small quantity available, please see the quantity section for details, once they are gone they are gone. There are now only 3 pieces left, we have two listings for this item as it can be bought as a pair or a single, across the two listings there are actually only 3 available - please note this when ordering. Please note that although the artist’s signature is repeated on the fabric’s print, not every cushion may have the signature featured on it. Update: It does not feature on the remaining 3 pieces. A contemporary cushion (pillow) constructed with antique elements by using fragments of precious fabric. Handcrafted in Ireland Created by designer-maker Katie Larmour Color: Yellow ochre, soil brown, off white, tan and soft black. Tags: Scatter cushion, scatter pillow.

Luxury Vintage Irish Linen Pillow Woven in Ireland Blue Stripe Cushion
Located in Belfast, Northern Ireland
Luxury pillow created from exquisite and rare vintage Irish Linen by Irish designer Katie Larmour. Made from quality vintage, pure, 100% Irish Linen made from the flax plant, from an unused roll. Highly textured, grainy and sumptuous to touch. Each cushion is handmade in Ireland. Lined in organic cotton, and finished with a concealed zip. Recommended 20x20" feather filler insert for plumpness. Backed in new natural undyed Irish linen on the reverse. Irish Linen is highly regarded worldwide, known since the turn-of-the-century as ‘white gold’ and the ultimate ‘aristocrat of textiles’. Katie Larmour is an associate member of The Irish Linen Guild and highlighted as a ‘recommended purveyor of Irish Linen goods’ by the guild on their official website. Katie is an ambassador The European Confederation of Flax and Hemp (CELC). Katie Larmour’s Studio are renowned for their high end creations. In beautiful faded tones of soft blue and navy, reminiscent of traditional French textiles. Both the hue and striped pattern make this a wonderfully versatile piece, working particularly well with beach house, yachts, sailboat, nautical decor, rustic, country manor house, bohemian and ‘shabby-chic’ interiors. More than one is available. There may be a lead making time of approx 1-2 weeks (often a small amount of stock is made and ready for immediate shipping) Please note the nature of linen is that the surface may contain ‘slubs’, this is to do with the weaving process. They are not seen as flaws and add to the textile’s character and charm, it is the nature of the natural fabric and we ask you to take this into consideration before ordering. We have a large collection of unique cushions listed here on 1stdibs, from one-of-a-kind vintage designer silk scarf...
