Description
This is the Hunter cushion, a printed cushion that carries a watercolour pheasant across a plain natural ground, with a panel of green and red tartan set down one edge. The bird is painted in warm ambers, rusts and browns with a red face and a green collar, and the long tail sweeps off toward the far corner, so the front reads as a single hand-painted picture rather than a repeating pattern. It comes in two shapes: a 40x60cm rectangle that frames the whole bird lengthways, and a 43x43cm square that crops in a little closer.
A cushion like this suits a country-leaning room without asking the rest of the room to match it. The tartan panel picks up the reds and greens that already tend to live in a snug sitting room, a window seat or a reading chair, and the plain natural background keeps it from crowding a sofa that already has pattern on it. Put the rectangle along the back of a settee where its length can spread out, and use the square where you want the pheasant to sit more upright and central. It works against neutral linen-look upholstery and against darker leather equally well.
The cover is woven from 96% polyester with 4% linen, which gives you a hard-wearing face that keeps its printed colour and resists the everyday knocks a much-used cushion takes. Construction is straightforward: knife edges around all four sides and a hidden zip along one, so the cover comes off cleanly and the closure stays out of sight. The tartan repeats on the reverse, so whichever way the cushion falls it still shows a finished face. It was designed, printed and made in the UK.

Frequently Asked
What is printed on the front of the cushion?
The front carries a watercolour painting of a pheasant on a plain natural ground, with a green and red tartan panel running down one side.
Is the pattern on the back as well as the front?
Yes. The tartan repeats across the reverse, so the cushion shows a finished face whichever way it falls on a sofa or chair.
What sizes does this cushion come in?
There are two shapes to choose between: a 40x60cm rectangle that frames the whole bird lengthways, and a 43x43cm square that crops in closer.
How does the cover come off?
A hidden zip runs along one edge, so you can slip the cover on and off cleanly and the closure stays out of sight when the cushion is in use.
What is the cover made from?
It is woven from 96% polyester with 4% linen, a hard-wearing blend that holds its printed colour well and stands up to everyday use.
Will it suit a country style room?
Yes. The pheasant and tartan lean country, while the plain natural background keeps it easy to place against neutral or patterned upholstery alike.
