About the Item

Vintage rare liberty of London purple silk scarf and Irish Linen cushion pillow Large custom made one of a kind luxury cushion (pillow) created from rare and exquisite vintage silk Liberty of London fashion scarf in a rich autumnal pattern. A dense foliage of multicolored leaves in a painterly quality, this plush cushion has a heavy and dramatic presence. The design in deep colors pops with the inclusion of the bright peachy pink. The silk is luxuriously soft to the touch with a subtle sheen. 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. Liberty’s block printed scarves on silk by hand were produced in relatively small numbers. This was reflected in their price which were typically double that of a machine print. Sewn inside is the early style Liberty logo from the original fabric. 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. Handmade in Ireland Colors: Maroon, burgundy, leaf green, neon peach, purple, pink, red and brown. Nb. Please note a flash has been used and so illuminates the colors ever so slightly.
