Title:
Vintage Vintage English Liberty of London Scarf Pillow with Irish Linen Barbie Purple Pink
Description:
Large custom made one-of-a-kind cushion (pillow) created from an exquisite vintage silk Liberty of London fashion scarf in a bright multi-coloured pattern. If you look closely you can see a very slight overlap in places on the edge of the colours indicating the hand printing method. Liberty’s block printed scarves on silk were produced in relatively small numbers, this was reflected in their price which were typically double that of a machine print. There are subtle and delicate flecks of shimmering gold all over the surface in sections gracing the corners, which are truly divine.
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 recognising talent and new trends, hiring the top designers of the time. By the 50s the store had a seasonal brochure dedicated solely to it’s scarves and still today a third of the ground floor of it’s magnificent mock-Tudor London flagship store is devoted to scarves.
This is an exciting vibrant piece that literally ‘pops’, it would make a spectacularly eye catching addition to any interior.
The fabric was personally hand-picked by Katie at an upmarket antiques market ‘Alfies’ in London.
On a sumptuous soft fabric to the touch.
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 cloth, filled with new custom-made 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 melange effect.
Katie is an ambassador The European Confederation of Flax and Hemp (CELC).
This bold pillow is without a doubt the ultimate statement piece for an interior. Elegant and glam it conjures sophistication and seductive luxury with an essence of feline style. We have an array of other special scarf pillows in different prints, patterns and colour ways listed here on 1stdibs.
