Vintage Aquascutum Silk Plaid Tartan Fabric and 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 luxury cushion (pillow) created from an exquisite vintage silk Aquascutum fashion scarf in a beautiful plaid pattern. The check design is made up of a mix of beige, taupe and navy. Immediately recognizable brand by the signature club check, however it is a very rare version of the iconic design as the geometric pattern is broken up with very sleek blocks of colour in a style inspired by the Modern Movement, Bauhaus, Russian Constructivists and De Stijl. British designer brand Aquascutum was established in 1851 by tailor and entrepreneur John Emary when he opened a high quality menswear shop in Regent Street, London. He produced and patented the first waterproof wool, thus naming his company ‘Aquascutum’, which is Latin for ‘watershield’. It’s an extremely interesting and historical and prestigious brand, they supplied soldiers trench coats for the Crimean and both World Wars, had Royal patronage, his majesty King Edward VII ordered a coat in the Prince of Wales check with the brand granted a royal warrant, and their water-repellent capes were popular among British suffragettes as well as an astonishing host of celebrated figures including, George V, Queen Elizabeth, Prince Rainier of Monaco, Sir Winston Churchill, Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Sophia Loren, Cary Grant, and Michael Caine and more recently UK prime minister Baroness Thatcher. Backed in new 100% pure Irish linen, the aristocrat of textiles perfect to compliment this heritage textile, 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 is a combination of the unbleached raw colour of the natural flax plant on the weft intertwined with pristine white on the warp, resulting in a beautiful dabbled effect. Tartan has an air of prestige, tradition and Celtic heritage, however this cushion would look very cool in both a Classic or contemporary setting and is indeed the perfect bachelor pad accessory. Very suitable for a Christmas gift or festive themed home accessory. A contemporary cushion (pillow) constructed with antique elements by using fragments of precious fabric. Handmade in Ireland. Color: Navy, beige, cream, off-white, ivory, brown, taupe, tan and oatmeal.

Title:
Vintage Hermes Equestrian Silk Scarf and Irish Linen Cushion Pillow
The ‘crème de la crème’ of scarves, this beauty is a one-of-a-kind luxury cushion (pillow) created from an exquisite vintage silk Hermes fashion scarf in their festive ‘Les Rubans Du Cheval’ equestrian pattern by Joachim Metz in 1988. A variety of elaborate ribbon rosettes in vibrant, colourful hues - an ornament made of pleated material, gathered so as to resemble a rose and worn as a decorative badge to show ranking in a competition.
The French company began in 1837 producing superior quality leather goods, harnesses and saddles, which makes sense that 100 years later the main theme on their luxury scarves is equestrian. Hermes scarves, known as ‘carre’ (squares), have become a symbol of French chic and are a highly desirable object across the globe that still continues to delight. Favoured by the ‘jet-setters’ of the 50s and 60s and gaining iconic status by Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly and this particular elegant design even worn by Queen Elizabeth II. The name of the print along with the brand’s signature proudly features in the centre. The attractive equestrian design is a delicately detailed illustration of bridal equipment with buckles, leather straps, feminine mermaids holding up functional hoops and lions holding crests on other sections of the metal hardware adorning the elaborate piece. It features a display of two equestrian horse bride dressings symmetrical like a mirror image of each other. In a dramatic, busy picture of multicoloured ribbon colour way on a quality sumptuous twill silk with a beautiful texture. It was made using the ‘Lyonnaise technique’ silk screen process with each of it’s 13 frames traditional laid one by one by hand (the more complex patterns can go out to 42). Before being carefully unravelled to create our cushion, the edge was delicately hand rolled and hemmed, a distinctive French style finish of all Hermes scarves. We also have a couple of other similar stunning Hermes scarf cushions...
