Peacock Animal Velvet Cushion - Olive

This is a square velvet cushion carrying a single hand-painted peacock, printed onto a soft olive green ground. The bird stands in profile down the right of the front, its blue body and long trailing tail feathers rendered in fine detail against the plain field of green. The whole thing measures 43 x 43cm, a standard scale that sits comfortably on most seating without crowding it, and the front is finished with a slim piped edge in a darker grey that traces the whole square.

A cushion like this earns its place as a focal point rather than a background piece, so give it room to be seen. It works on the corner of a sofa, on an armchair or propped against the headboard of a bed, where the single bird reads clearly and does not compete with a busy print. The olive ground is warm enough to sit against neutral walls, wood furniture and other greens, and the same peacock is printed on other coloured grounds, so the shape can be repeated across a room in different backgrounds if you want a set.

The face is soft velvet and the pile catches the light, which is what gives the colour its depth and the printed feathers their sheen. It is made from 100% polyester, which holds colour well, resists fading and keeps its shape through everyday use, and a hidden zip along one edge lets you take the cover off. The piped seam gives the edge structure and helps the cushion hold a crisp square rather than slumping at the corners. Designed, printed and made in the UK. Pair it with plain velvet cushions in toning shades to let the peacock lead, or set it beside the same design on a contrasting ground for a bolder arrangement.

Does the cover come off for cleaning?

Yes, there is a hidden zip along one edge, so the outer cover can be removed from the inner pad whenever you need to.

What is the cushion made from?

It is 100% polyester with a soft velvet face, a fibre that holds its colour well, resists fading and keeps its shape through daily use.

How big is the cushion?

It measures 43 x 43cm, a square that sits well on a sofa or armchair without overwhelming the seat or getting lost against a larger piece.

Is the peacock on both sides?

The printed peacock is on the front face against the olive green velvet, and the reverse is plain olive velvet, as shown in the photographs.

What does the piped edge do?

The piped seam runs around all four sides and gives the cushion a defined edge, helping it hold a crisp square shape at the corners.
