About the Item

Vintage French Boussac Versailles fabric with Irish linen cushion pillow blue Custom made luxury cushions created with French vintage ‘Petit Trianon' Boussac fabric from their 'Romanex' collection in pale blue with a beautiful pattern of pretty ribbons, roses, alternating bands between bunches of luscious flowers and butterflies. This particular design was Boussac's take on the interior at the Chateau of Versailles. This delightful gem was bought from an antique fabric dealer in Marche aux Puces de Saint-Ouen on the outskirts on Paris and it dates from the 1940s. In a thick weighty cotton in it's perfect never used condition. Purchased from a Paris market and from an used roll and so the colours are still vivid. We also have this design in the pale pink colourway. It was named so after Marie Antoinette's bedroom in the Petit Trianon Palace at Versailles, where the prestigious design house created textiles for the Chateaux when it was being restored. It is the essence of French textile design. Boussac was one of the most prominent and prestigious textile manufacturers in France. Once the richest man in Europe, Marcel Boussac (1889-1980) was a French entrepreneur who founded the French textile manufacturing empire Boussac. Legendary for owning one of the most successful thoroughbred race horse breeding farms in European history. His horses dominated French racing from the 1930s through to the 1960s and was responsible for the most influential mares imported to the USA and UK. During the war more than six hundred of them were seized and transported out of the country for breeding at the German National Stud. He is also best known for his ownership of the Maison Dior and contributed greatly to Paris becoming the capital of fashion again after the war - in 1946 he financed Christian Dior's new Paris fashion house that became one of the most famous clothing and perfume marques in history. Boussac revolutionised fabric creating his own brand of patterns for the younger clientele, many with vegetable motifs and a variety of colours which won over the general public. Today Boussac fabric has been taken over by the renowned ‘Pierre Frey’ name. With it’s charming character, it would look especially fabulous in a tradition, country or rustic style interior. 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 colour of the natural flax plant on the weft intertwined with pristine white on the warp, resulting in a beautiful mottled effect. A contemporary cushion (pillow) constructed with antique elements by using fragments of precious fabric. Handcrafted in Ireland By designer-maker Katie Larmour Ireland Studio Availability: We have fabric for x1 in the pink and enough fabric to make 5 in the blue.

Luxury Vintage Irish Linen Pillow by Katie Larmour Couture Cushions Blue Stripe
Located in Belfast, Northern Ireland
Luxury pillow created from exquisite and rare deadstock Irish Linen by Irish designer Katie Larmour. Made from quality deadstock, pure, 100% Irish Linen made from the flax plant, from an unused roll. Beautiful texture and sumptuous to touch. (This is small batch making, once this fabric is gone it's gone.) 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, soft tones of blue and navy with a French seaside, deckchair vibe 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.
