Regency Stripe Jacquard Velvet Cushion - Antique Gold

This is a 45 x 45cm cushion in jacquard velvet, woven so a broad vertical stripe runs the full height of the cover. The stripe here is tonal rather than two-coloured: the whole face is a warm antique gold, and the pattern reads through the way the velvet catches light, so one band looks matt and its neighbour looks brighter as you move past it. A slim piped trim runs around all four edges, giving the cushion a defined shoulder rather than a soft rolled corner. It is made from polyester velvet, which is the pile that gives it its depth of colour and its soft hand.

At 45 x 45cm this is the standard square that most sofa and armchair scatter cushions are cut to, which makes it easy to slot in beside pieces you already own or to buy in a pair for a symmetrical arrangement. The tonal gold sits comfortably against browns, creams and deeper jewelled shades, and the vertical stripe adds a little structure to a group of plainer cushions without fighting a patterned throw. It works on a bed as much as on seating, and the stripe gives it a slightly more considered look than a plain velvet square.

The cover fastens with a zip, so it comes off for cleaning and the pad stays separate. Velvet is a pile fabric, so it responds to a gentle brush along the nap to lift and even the surface, and stripes like these show their contrast best when the pile all lies one way. The piped edge holds the shape of the cushion and keeps the corners crisp with use. The same Regency Stripe cushion is offered in a range of other tones if you want to build a set or pick a shade that answers a colour already in the room.

Does the cover come off for cleaning?

Yes, there is a zip closure along one edge so the cover lifts off the pad, which makes it easier to clean and to store flat when not in use.

Is the stripe two different colours?

No, the stripe is tonal. The whole face is antique gold and the pattern shows through the way the velvet pile catches and reflects the light across each band.

What size is this cushion and what will it fit?

It measures 45 x 45cm, the standard square scatter cushion size, so it suits most sofas, armchairs and beds and pairs easily with cushions you already own.

How should I care for the velvet?

Velvet is a pile fabric, so a gentle brush along the nap helps lift and even the surface, and keeping the pile lying one way shows the stripe at its best.

Can I buy it in other colours?

Yes, the same Regency Stripe velvet cushion is offered in a range of other tones, which makes it straightforward to build a coordinated set or match an existing scheme.
