Vintage Penny Farthing Silk and Orange Velvet Cushion

Vintage Penny Farthing Silk and Orange Velvet Cushion (unpiped)

Vintage original design silk and orange velvet scarf cushion Victorian Circus Poster Penny Farthing Bicycle and Steam Train, Stars and Stripes

The inspiration for this design was based on an original image and we were fortunate enough to be granted a licence for this from the John and Mabel Ringling Museum of Art in Sarasota, Florida, US. It is interesting because it shows a man riding an incredibly huge Penny Farthing holding stars and stripes banners chased by a rider and dog - at the same time as a crowd of people cheering with a Steam locomotive in the background. There is a lovely border around the edges reminiscent of a gilded picture frame.

The cushion is backed with our lovely soft Orange velvet which complements the colours of the silk design which glows with golden yellows, reds, green and blue hues with lots of interesting details - our logo is discreetly printed at the foot of the design.
We have other designs available in this size and also a larger size, unpiped with yellow velvet.

Luxurious Italian silk cushion cover in an original unique design which is is exclusive to us. This is a sample and we have only one of these, although we have other similar cushions in different designs and sizes.
These covers are our own design based on silk scarves which were made specially for us as samples by a top Italian silk factory in Como, Italy who specialise in making scarves and clothing for the world’s top leading brands.
They were then stitched by ourselves by hand using one of our 100% cotton velvets in a co-ordinating colour to complement the glowing colours of the silk. Our velvet is incredibly soft and ideal for making cushions and soft furnishings.
This is a 40 x 40cm size cushion cover with a zip on the bottom edge of the design.
We recommend that this luxury silk cover is dry cleaned when needed.
