Description
This is a 45cm square cushion cover made from 100% cotton, with a single embroidered pheasant worked across a warm mustard-yellow ground. The bird is stitched in browns, beige and black, perched on a slim branch that sweeps down towards a scatter of small leaves. The face of the cover is a faux velvet fabric, which gives the surface its soft feel and the slight shift in tone you see as it catches the light. The cover measures 45cm by 45cm, a standard scatter-cushion size that works with a wide range of pads.
A cushion like this sits well on a sofa, an armchair or a bed, where a single embroidered motif does more than a busy print. The mustard ground is a strong, warm base colour, so it holds its own against neutral upholstery and stands out against darker greens, browns and greys. The pheasant and branch give it a country feel, though the plain velvet field keeps it from looking fussy. Set one against plainer cushions and let it be the one your eye goes to, or pair it with its sibling colourways for a layered look.
Construction is a face and a contrasting reverse, brought together with a piped border and closed with a hidden zip, so you can remove the cover to clean it and the fastening stays out of sight. The piping runs the full edge and frames the embroidery. Because the face is a cotton velvet, care matters: the supplier specifies dry clean only, with a cool iron if pressing is needed, which keeps the pile and the stitching intact. It is one of three colourways in the Hunter Velvet range, each with a contrasting reverse, so you can choose the ground that suits your room.

Frequently Asked
What is the cushion made from?
The cover is 100% cotton, with a faux velvet face that gives it a soft feel and a slight shift in tone as it catches the light.
How do I clean it?
The supplier specifies dry clean only, which protects the velvet pile and the embroidered pheasant. If you need to press it, use a cool iron.
What size pad should I use?
The cover measures 45cm by 45cm, a standard scatter-cushion size, so a 45cm pad fits well and a 50cm pad gives a fuller, plumper finish.
Is a cushion pad included?
This is sold as a cover, so read it as the cover only unless the listing states a pad is included. The hidden zip lets you insert and remove your own pad.
Is the reverse the same as the front?
No, the reverse is a contrasting fabric rather than a repeat of the embroidered face, and the piped border runs the full edge of the cover.
Where does the cushion suit best?
It works on a sofa, an armchair or a bed, where the single embroidered motif on a warm mustard ground stands out against neutral or darker furnishings.
