Description
The Chatsworth Peacock cushion carries a symmetrical printed design across a soft sage green ground: two proud peacocks facing one another from their perches, a central urn of blooms between them, and traditional damask-inspired florals filling the space around. Look closely and you will also find two small reed buntings perched above the peacocks, in warm yellow. It measures 43 x 43cm, the standard square that fits the most common cushion pads and slots easily into an existing arrangement. The face is printed on a 96% polyester and 4% linen mix, a construction chosen to keep the print crisp while staying soft to the touch and hard-wearing in daily use.
This is a cushion for a country or traditional setting, and it earns its place on an armchair, a sofa or the head of a bed. The green ground sits comfortably against neutral upholstery, natural wood and warm walls, and the amber, rust and blue accents in the print give you colours to pick up elsewhere in the room. Because the pattern is symmetrical and self-contained, a single cushion reads as deliberate rather than stranded, though a pair either side of a sofa balances well too. The soft velvet reverse means you can turn it over for a plain finish when the mood suits.
Construction is finished with a contrasting piped trim in a deep blue-grey around all four edges, which frames the print and holds the shape, and a zip fastening so the cover comes off for cleaning. The velvet reverse is a slate blue-grey, a considered contrast to the green face rather than a match. The cover is designed, printed and made in the UK. Style it with plainer cushions in one of the print's accent shades to let the peacocks lead, or layer it among other patterns for a fuller, collected look.

Frequently Asked
What is the cover made from?
The printed face is a 96% polyester and 4% linen mix and the reverse is 100% polyester velvet, giving a soft handle with a hard-wearing print on the front.
Does the cover come off for cleaning?
Yes, there is a zip fastening along one edge so the cover can be removed from the pad whenever you need to clean it or store it away.
What size cushion pad does it take?
The cover measures 43 x 43cm, a standard square, so a 43cm or 45cm pad will fill it out nicely depending on how plump you prefer it.
Is a cushion pad included?
The record does not confirm whether a pad is supplied, so we would treat this as a cover and check before you rely on a filling being included.
What does the reverse look like?
The back is a plain slate blue-grey velvet, a deliberate contrast to the sage print, so you can turn the cushion over for a simple solid-colour side.
Where is it made?
The cushion is designed, printed and made in the United Kingdom, as stated by the supplier.
