Description
This is a rectangular cushion woven with the Union Jack flag, and at its centre a heraldic lion crest: two rampant lions flanking a shield, a crown above, and a scrolled banner reading Pride, Honesty, Honor. The front is a jacquard cotton, meaning the pattern is woven into the cloth rather than printed onto it, so the reds, navy and gold are threads in their own right and hold their depth as the light moves across them. It is made from 100% cotton throughout, and the crest is picked out with embroidered detail that catches the eye up close.
At 65 x 45cm it is a generous lumbar shape, longer than it is tall, which is what you want along the back of a sofa or set against the plumper square cushions on a bed. It suits a room with a bit of formality to it, a leather chair, a dark wood sideboard, a study or a snug where a patriotic note feels at home rather than loud. Because the flag reads strongly on its own, it sits best as the single feature in a group rather than one of a matched pair.
The back is a plain fabric in a warm sand tone, with a knife edge trim and a zip fastening so the cover comes off the pad cleanly. Cotton is a natural fibre that takes colour well and feels soft to the hand, and the woven construction means there is no surface layer to crack or peel with use. The plain reverse also gives you a quieter face to turn outward if you want the pattern resting for a while. It is a good deal of print in one piece, so give it room to be seen.

Frequently Asked
Is the pattern printed or woven in?
The Union Jack and crest are jacquard woven, so the colours are threads in the cloth rather than a printed surface layer that could crack or fade with handling.
What are the dimensions of this cushion?
It measures 65 x 45cm, a lumbar shape that is longer than it is tall, which sits well along a sofa back or in front of square bed cushions.
What is the back of the cushion like?
The reverse is a plain fabric in a warm sand tone with a knife edge trim, giving you a quieter face you can turn outward if you prefer.
Does the cover come off?
Yes, there is a zip fastening along one edge so you can take the cover off the pad when you need to.
What is it made from?
It is 100% cotton, a natural fibre that takes colour well and feels soft to the hand, with woven detail rather than any plastic finish.
