About

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 of the fabric has been fully credited below) Description: Custom made one-of-a-kind luxury cushion (pillow) created from an exquisite vintage silk liberty of London scarf in a range of beautiful Autumnal colors. This is Liberty’s 'Hera' design which is the most identifiable with liberty and dates back to the 1890s. Credited to an 1887 design by Arthur Silver, founder of the Silver Studio, ‘Hera’ has been a Liberty favourite since the mid-1890s when it was first printed onto Liberty furnishing fabrics. Founded by Arthur Liberty, the world famous British department store liberty of London began trading in 1875 in a small shop called East India House, by the 1920s it was a leading establishment. Liberty was not a designer himself but a businessman who had a gift for recognizing talent and new trends, hiring the top designers of the time. By the 1950s the store had a seasonal brochure dedicated solely to its scarves and still today a third of the ground floor of its magnificent mock-Tudor London flagship store is devoted to scarves. The peacock feather was a frequently used motif during the Aesthetic Movement of the 1880s. These scarves are no longer produced in this exact design so are very sought after and collectable. This Classic Liberty print cushion would complement an elegant neutral interior. It’s glossy, luxurious to the touch and in its original condition. 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 natural color tones would work beautifully against wooden furniture. Handmade in Ireland Color: Brown, mauve, rust, orange, soft black and a creamy beige.
