Hunter Animal Linen Cushion - Multicolour

This is a square cushion carrying a hand-painted leaping hare, worked in soft watercolour tones of brown, tan and amber across a plain natural ground. The front is split: the upper section holds the hare in mid-stride, while a panel of green, black and red tartan runs along the lower edge and continues across the reverse. It measures 43 x 43cm, a standard scale that reads well singly on a chair or grouped along a sofa. The cloth is a polyester face with a small proportion of linen in the composition, so it feels soft under the hand while holding its shape.

It suits a country-leaning or neutral room, and the tartan panel gives it a natural home in a snug, a farmhouse sitting room or a reading corner. Because the hare sits on a plain, pale ground, the cushion sits comfortably against dark leather, mid-tone woods and other muted furnishings without competing with them. The green and red in the tartan pick up easily on throws, rugs and curtains already in the room, which makes it straightforward to place rather than a piece you have to build a whole scheme around.

The cushion is finished with standard knife edges and a hidden zip closure, so the cover comes off cleanly for cleaning and the fastening stays out of sight. The tartan carries across the back, meaning the cushion holds its look whichever way it is turned. Polyester is hard-wearing and resists creasing, which is useful on a piece meant to be leant on and moved around day to day. It was designed, printed and made in the UK. If you like the hare, the printed-animal-on-tartan idea gives you a clear starting point for building a country-themed group of soft furnishings.

What is the cushion made of?

The cloth is 96% polyester with 4% linen, which gives a soft face that resists creasing and stands up well to everyday use on a sofa or chair.

Does the cover come off for cleaning?

Yes, there is a hidden zip closure along one edge, so you can remove the cover without the fastening showing when the cushion is in place.

Is the back plain or patterned?

The tartan continues across the reverse, so the cushion keeps its look whichever face you turn to the front when styling a chair or sofa.

What size is it and how should I group it?

It is 43 x 43cm, a standard square that works on its own on a chair or paired and layered along a larger sofa.

What rooms does it suit?

It works in country-leaning or neutral schemes, and the pale ground with green and red tartan sits well against dark woods, leather and muted furnishings.
