Zinara Animal Velvet Cushion - Black

The Zinara cushion carries a hand-painted jungle scene across a soft velvet face: a poised leopard resting among tropical foliage, with banana leaves, red aloes and trailing gold blooms filling the ground around it. It is a rectangular bolster shape measuring 30 x 50cm, printed on one side and finished in a deep wine-red velvet on the reverse. The whole panel is made from 100% polyester, which holds printed colour crisply and keeps the pile plush without the price of a natural velvet.

A rectangular cushion of this proportion is made for the front of a sofa, a reading chair or the head of a bed, where its length gives lower-back support rather than sitting purely as decoration. The dark ground and jewel colours suit a room that leans into depth and pattern, and it works particularly well against rattan, dark wood or a plain deep-toned sofa where the leopard reads as the focal point. Turn it to the plain wine reverse when you want the colour without the scene, which makes it an easy cushion to restyle through the seasons.

Construction is a piped edge running the full perimeter and a hidden zip closure, so the cover can be taken off the pad. The piping is worked in the same wine velvet as the reverse, which frames the print and gives the edges a firm, defined line. Polyester velvet is hard-wearing and resists crushing, so it recovers its nap well in a busy sitting room. Style it as a single accent on a neutral seat, or pair it with the wider Zinara range, which carries the same jungle treatment across other big-cat designs for a layered look.

Is the cover removable for cleaning?

Yes, it has a hidden zip closure along one edge, so the velvet cover lifts off the pad when you need to clean or freshen it.

What is the cushion made from?

It is 100% polyester with a velvet finish, which is hard-wearing, holds printed colour well and stays soft through everyday use.

Is the back the same as the front?

No, the printed leopard scene is on the front and the reverse is a plain deep wine-red velvet, so you can turn it for two different looks.
