Description
This is a Union Jack cushion woven in cotton jacquard, with a lion crest at its heart. The flag design fills the front, the two saltires and the central cross rendered in deep navy, red and a warm cream ground, with a gilt crown, a pair of rampant lions and a shield picked out in gold and green thread. A scrolled banner runs beneath the shield. The cushion measures 46 x 32cm, a rectangular bolster shape rather than a square, which suits the horizontal sweep of the flag.
A cushion like this sits well on a sofa, an armchair or the end of a bed, and it works as the single characterful piece against plainer cushions in navy, red or cream. It reads as a British, heritage-minded design, so it earns its place in a study, a snug or a living room with traditional furniture. Because the front is a busy, high-contrast pattern, one is usually plenty; let it be the thing the eye goes to rather than crowding it with other prints.
The design is woven into the cloth as a jacquard rather than printed on top, so the pattern is part of the fabric and carries the depth of a tapestry weave, as the close-up shows in the raised gold and green threads. The reverse is plain, seen here in a soft champagne tone, with a knife-edge trim and a zip fastening so the cover comes off. It is made from 100% cotton, a natural fibre that feels soft to the hand and breathes well. As a self-contained cushion in the Union Jack range, it stands alone happily or pairs with a matching square for a fuller arrangement.
