Nutcracker Trio Tufted Cotton Cushion - Multicolour

This is a square Christmas cushion with a loop-tufted face showing three nutcracker soldiers standing side by side. The design is worked in the traditional festive palette you can see in the photograph: deep red tunics, dark green detailing and cream ground, with tan faces and brown boots. A scalloped green border frames the scene top and bottom, echoing the wavy trim you often find on hooked and tufted pieces. The face is 100% polyester and the reverse is 100% cotton, and the pad sits inside behind a zip. At 45cm by 45cm it is a standard square scatter size, so it drops straight into an existing cushion arrangement without leaving an awkward gap.

A cushion like this earns its place from late autumn through the festive weeks, then goes back into storage until next year. It suits a sofa, an armchair or the corner of a bed, and the raised loop pile gives it a hand-worked, textured surface that reads as more than a printed panel. The cream ground keeps it from overwhelming a neutral room, while the red and green carry the seasonal cue clearly. It sits happily against plain linen upholstery, knitted throws or other Christmas pieces, and the more graphic nutcracker figures balance well beside a softer candy-cane or floral design if you are building a seasonal group.

The construction is loop tufted across the whole front, which is what gives the pile its depth and the figures their slightly rounded, stitched look. The plain cotton reverse means one side is simple and unfussy if you want to turn it over between seasons. The zip closure lets you take the cover off the pad. Store it flat or loosely folded once the season is over so the loops keep their shape, and it will come out ready for the following Christmas.

What size cushion pad does this take?

The cover measures 45cm by 45cm, which is a standard square scatter size, so a 45cm pad will fill it neatly and keep the tufted face taut.

Does the cover come off?

Yes. There is a zip closure along one edge, so you can remove the cover from the pad when you need to.

What is the front made from and how does it feel?

The face is 100% polyester worked as a loop-tufted pile, so it has a raised, textured surface rather than a flat printed one, giving the figures a hand-worked look.

What is the back like?

The reverse is 100% cotton and left plain, so you can turn the cushion to a simple side if you want a quieter look between the festive weeks.

Is this a seasonal design?

Yes, the three nutcracker figures and the red and green palette make it a Christmas piece, best suited to festive decorating and then stored away for the rest of the year.
