Description
This is a woven tapestry cushion carrying the Union Jack, with a royal crown motif placed right at the centre of the flag. The face is woven rather than printed, so the reds, blues and cream of the flag are built up from the threads themselves rather than laid on top, and the gold crown at the centre shows off the finer detail the weave can hold. It is made from 100% cotton, and the cover measures 46 x 32cm, a landscape rectangle that sits differently from the more common square cushion.
A cushion like this earns its place on a favourite armchair, a reading chair or the end of a sofa, where the long shape supports the small of your back as much as it dresses the seat. The patriotic subject suits a living room or a snug with a traditional streak, and it holds its own as a single accent against plain upholstery rather than needing a matching set around it. Set against neutral linen or a plain sofa, the flag does the talking.
The reverse is a plain cotton twill, a tighter, harder-wearing weave than the tapestry face, and the cover closes with a concealed zip so it slips off the pad easily. Cotton is a natural fibre, breathable and hard-wearing, and it takes a woven design cleanly, which is why the crown detail reads as sharply as it does. Because the cover is removable, you can lift it away from the pad when you need to freshen it. The record does not specify a filling, so the cover is what is described here.

Frequently Asked
Is the flag design woven or printed?
It is woven as a tapestry, so the colours are formed by the threads themselves. That gives the flag and the central crown a textured, hard-wearing face rather than a flat printed surface.
What is the reverse of the cushion like?
The back is a plain cotton twill, which is a tighter and tougher weave than the tapestry front. It gives the cover a durable, practical side to sit against the seat.
How big is the cushion and what shape is it?
It measures 46 x 32cm, which is a landscape rectangle rather than a square. That long, low shape works well as a lumbar cushion for the small of your back.
Does the cover come off?
Yes, the cover closes with a concealed zip, so it slips off the pad easily whenever you want to take it away for freshening or storage.
What is the cushion made from?
It is made from 100% cotton, a natural and breathable fibre. Cotton is hard-wearing and takes a woven design cleanly, which is why the crown detail reads so sharply.
