Description
This Harry Potter velvet cushion brings the Potions Class to your sofa, with gold print on a soft, deep navy blue velvet front. Across the top, small capitals read O.W.L. Exams above Potions Class in a large flowing script, followed by Taught by Severus Snape. Beneath sits a row of gold apothecary bottles, among them a heart-shaped Love Potion flask and a tall bottle of Skele-Gro, with little gold stars scattered over a mottled blue ground like a night sky. The back is plain dark navy velvet, and a gold piped edge runs round it, finished with a golden tan tassel at each corner. It measures 47.9cm across, 32.2cm deep and 11cm high.
Its rectangular shape sits against the back of a sofa or armchair, or in front of the pillows on a made bed, where the gold print catches the light of a nearby lamp. The 11cm height gives you something to lean against while you read, without taking over the seat. Deep navy and gold suit a darker scheme, from inky blue walls to warm wooden shelves, and the cushion looks as at home in a reading corner or study as it does in a bedroom.
The front and back are both velvet, with the design printed in gold on the front only, so you can turn it to the plain navy side for a quieter look. The gold piping frames the edge, and the four tassels add an old fashioned finish at the corners. Velvet keeps its pile best with a little care: give the cushion a gentle shake now and then, brush the surface lightly with a soft brush, and treat any mark with a barely damp cloth rather than rubbing, which also protects the gold print. Pair it with plain cushions in cream or mustard, and it makes an easy gift wrapped alongside a favourite book.
