Vintage textile cushions from Parasol-UK
DINESH (named after a very special and very kind friend of ours) is vintage textile cushion size 20" x 14" backed with beautiful stone-coloured linen and a zip. I shouldn't be sentimental, but I really hope someone will buy this as a present for a little girl! It is part of what was originally a baby blanket and shows hand-embroidered symbols of prosperity - fish, trees fruit and even an elephant. Utterly charming.
Pad not included but we would be delighted to help with this if required
The story behind these beautiful vintage textile cushions.
All of our cushion covers originate in Bengal and are made of cotton which was very intricately running-stitched throughout the fabric and has then been beautifully embroidered. Made before most of us were born, it is impossible not to wonder who has made and used and enjoyed them in the past when they were cotton sarees or bedcovers. Despite their history, they have a lightness and freshness to them which works in both traditional or the most modern rooms.
They make the most beautiful cushions, combining today's drive for sustainability with so much soul and history. Each cushion is unique and once it has gone, it has gone!
