Shiraz Jacquard Chenille Cushion - Navy

The Shiraz cushion carries a large floral damask worked as a jacquard, so the pattern is woven into the cloth rather than printed on top. Against a deep navy ground, a symmetrical arrangement of scrolling leaves and central blooms is picked out in warm gold and bronze tones, the design mirrored top to bottom so each half answers the other. It measures 45 x 45cm, the standard square that suits most sofas and armchairs, and the whole edge is finished with a twisted gold cord piping that follows the seam right around.

This is a cushion for a room with some warmth and depth to it. The navy and gold reads well against dark painted walls, wood floors and neutral upholstery, and it sits comfortably on a pale linen or velvet chair where the ground colour lifts it. Use it singly as a focal point on a plain sofa, or pair it where you want the damask to carry the scheme. It works in a living room, a study or a bedroom, wherever you want a traditional, decorative note rather than something plain.

The face is a jacquard woven in polyester, which is hard-wearing and holds its colour and pattern well through daily use. A hidden zip runs along one seam so the cover closes cleanly and nothing interrupts the woven face, and the design is reversible, giving you the same pattern on both sides. The piped edge is a twisted gold cord that frames the print and helps the cushion hold its square shape. Because of the woven construction and the metallic detailing, this one is dry clean only, so keep it away from spills where you can. If you like the pattern, the wider Shiraz range carries the same damask across other pieces.

Is the pattern printed or woven in?

The damask is a jacquard, which means it is woven into the fabric rather than printed on. That gives the pattern depth and means it will not wear off with use.

Can I use both sides of the cushion?

Yes. The design is reversible, so you get the same woven damask on the front and the back and can turn it over as you like.

How do I clean it?

This cushion is dry clean only. The woven face and the metallic gold detailing need that extra care, so avoid washing it at home and keep it clear of spills.

What size is the cushion?

It measures 45 x 45cm, the standard square that fits most sofas and armchairs and layers easily with other cushions of the same size.

Does it come with a filling or is it a cover?

The listing describes a cushion with a hidden zip closure along one seam, so the cover can be opened. Check the seam to confirm what is supplied before use.
