Description
This is a rectangular velvet cushion carrying a hand-painted leaping hare, printed in fine detail across a soft grey-blue ground. The hare bounds through a wild garden of poppies, ferns and toadstools, with a ladybird picked out on one of the caps. It measures 40 x 60cm, a bolster-style oblong rather than a square, so it reads as a single feature rather than one of a matching pair. The fabric is 100% polyester velvet, which gives the print its depth of colour and a short, dense pile that catches the light as you move past it.
An oblong of this size sits naturally along the back of a sofa or an armchair, propped in front of taller square cushions so the picture stays visible. The cool grey-blue background is deep enough to sit against darker upholstery yet soft enough to lift a neutral room, and the scattered reds, ambers and greens of the planting give you a palette to pick up in a throw or a smaller plain cushion. It suits a living room or a bedroom, and works as a solo accent on a bench or a reading chair where a square would look lost.
The face is printed velvet and the reverse is a plain velvet in the same grey-blue tone, so the cushion looks considered from either side. A piped trim runs the full edge to hold its shape, and a hidden zip lets you take the cover off. Polyester velvet is hard-wearing and resists crushing, which is why it holds up to daily use on a sofa. Always follow the care label before cleaning. The cushion is designed, printed and made in the UK.

Frequently Asked
Is the cover removable for cleaning?
Yes, there is a hidden zip along one edge, so you can take the cover off the pad whenever you need to freshen it up.
What is the cushion made from?
The face and reverse are both 100% polyester velvet, which gives a short dense pile that shows the printed colours with real depth.
What size is this cushion?
It is 40 x 60cm, an oblong bolster shape rather than a square, which makes it a good feature cushion to layer in front of larger squares.
Is the hare printed on both sides?
No, the leaping hare is printed on the front only. The reverse is a plain grey-blue velvet in a matching tone.
Does it have a piped edge?
Yes, a velvet piped trim runs the full way round the edge, which helps the cushion keep a crisp, defined shape.
