Pimpernel Jacquard Linen Cushion - Linen

This is the Pimpernel Jacquard cushion, a square cushion carrying the classic Morris floral archive pattern woven straight into the cloth rather than printed on top. The face is a jacquard weave in a soft neutral, the winding pimpernel and acanthus foliage picked out in a lighter tone against a warm stone ground, so the whole design reads as a play of light and shade rather than hard colour. Because the pattern is woven, it has genuine texture under the hand, the raised motifs catching the light differently from the flatter ground.

A cushion like this earns its place on an armchair or at the corner of a sofa, where the tonal palette lets it sit comfortably with plain upholstery and existing soft furnishings without shouting for attention. The neutral colouring is forgiving in a room that already has a lot going on, and equally at home against a calm, pared-back scheme. It suits a living room or a reading corner, somewhere it will be leaned on rather than merely looked at, and the classic Morris design gives a nod to heritage style without tipping into fuss.

The reverse is a plain, soft-napped fabric in a matching cream, so the cushion looks considered whichever way it falls. It is finished with a piped trim around all four edges, which gives the seams a crisp, defined outline and helps the cushion hold its shape, and a zip closure along one side lets you remove the cover from the pad. The construction is 100% polyester throughout, a hard-wearing synthetic that resists creasing and holds colour well. Pair it with other neutral and textured cushions to build up a layered, tactile group, or let it stand alone as a quiet accent.

Is the pattern printed or woven in?

It is woven. This is a jacquard cloth, so the pimpernel design is formed in the weave itself and has real texture rather than sitting on the surface as print.

What size is the cushion?

It measures 55 x 55cm, a generous square that works well on a sofa or an armchair and layers happily with smaller cushions in front of it.

Can I take the cover off the pad?

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

What is the cushion made from?

It is 100% polyester throughout, a durable synthetic fibre that resists creasing, holds its colour and stands up well to everyday use on a favourite seat.

What does the back look like?

The reverse is a plain, soft-napped fabric in a matching cream, so the cushion still looks finished if it turns over on the sofa.
