Description
This is a festive velvet cushion carrying a hand painted, printed design of four dogs gathered in falling snow. One wears a red Santa hat, two wear reindeer antlers, and the whole group is tangled together in a string of bright Christmas lights. Behind them sits a wintry forest and a snow covered ground, printed across a soft grey face in richly coloured, realistic detail. The cushion measures 30 x 50cm, a rectangular bolster shape rather than the usual square, which makes it useful where a square cushion would sit too tall.
A long cushion like this earns its place along the back of a sofa or an armchair, filling the width without stacking up in front of the taller cushions behind it. It reads as a Christmas piece, so it is one to bring out for the season and pack away afterwards, and it sits happily against plain neutrals or against deeper reds and greens already in the room. The printed grey face and the plain reverse give you two looks from one cushion, so you can turn it to the reverse once the decorations come down if you want to keep it out a little longer.
The face is printed on velvet, and the reverse is a plain contrast velvet in red, finished with a matching piped trim around all four edges and a hidden zip along one side. The zip means you can take the cover off the pad, and velvet like this has a short dense pile that catches the light and shows the direction it is brushed. It is made from 100% polyester, a hard wearing fibre that holds printed colour well and resists everyday knocks. Being polyester, the cover is easy to keep looking fresh and does not crease the way natural fibres can, which suits a cushion that comes out and goes away each year.

Frequently Asked
Is the design printed or woven into the fabric?
The scene is hand painted in studio and then printed onto the soft velvet face, so the detail reads as a realistic painted picture rather than a woven pattern.
What is on the back of the cushion?
The reverse is a plain contrast velvet in red with a matching piped trim, so you can turn it around for a simpler look when you like.
Can I remove the cover from the pad?
Yes, there is a hidden zip along one edge, which lets you take the cover off the inner pad whenever you need to.
What shape and size is this cushion?
It is a long rectangular bolster shape measuring 30 x 50cm, which suits the back of a sofa or an armchair where a square cushion would sit too tall.
What is the cover made from?
The cover is 100% polyester velvet, a hard wearing fibre that holds printed colour well and keeps the pile soft to the touch.
