Description
This is a square jacquard cushion in a soft Wedgewood blue, woven with a woodland acorn branch pattern that reads as a paler tone against the ground rather than a printed contrast. The pattern is a Morris & Co. design, drawn from an original 1879 hand-printing block and inspired by an English hedgerow, so the leaves, acorns and small flowers all trail across the face in the tangled, growing way that the archive is known for. The whole thing is 100% polyester, and the cover measures 55cm square, which is a generous size that fills the corner of a sofa rather than getting lost in it.
A 55cm cushion is the one to reach for when you want presence on a larger armchair or a deep sofa, either on its own or layered in front of smaller scatter cushions. The tonal, one-colour treatment means it settles into a room quietly, working alongside plainer textures and warmer neutrals without competing with them, and the country feel of the acorn pattern suits an armchair by a window or a reading corner. It sits happily with both painted and wooden furniture.
The face is woven jacquard, so the pattern is built into the cloth as texture rather than printed on top, which is what gives the branches their slightly raised, embroidered look in the light. A soft rope braid trim runs around all four edges, and a zip closure along one side lets you take the cover off easily. Being polyester, the woven face resists creasing and holds its colour well, both useful things in a cushion that gets leaned on daily. The Acorn design is one of several Morris & Co. archive patterns we stock.

Frequently Asked

What size is this cushion?
The cover is 55cm square, a generous size that works well on a larger armchair or a deep sofa where a smaller cushion would look lost.
Does the cover come off for cleaning?
Yes, there is a zip closure along one side so you can remove the cover easily when you need to.
What is the trim around the edge?
A soft rope braid runs around all four edges, framing the pattern and finishing the woodland, country look of the cushion.
Where does the design come from?
It is a Morris & Co. archive pattern, drawn from an original 1879 hand-printing block and inspired by an English hedgerow of acorns, leaves and small flowers.
