Dorking Chicken Tapestry Cushion

Woven tapestry chicken cushion with a dark cream ground, recalling the design of a needlework panel from the late 19th century. The revival of embroidery and needlework as serious decorative arts, championed by the Royal School of Needlework, founded in 1872, and by the Arts and Crafts movement's insistence on the value of handmade textile work, gave new life and ambition to the traditional pastoral and animal themes that had long symbolised abundance, rural contentment and the pleasures of domestic life. This delightful home accessory is filled with a soft inner pad and finished with a concealed zip. Lovely on any sofa or armchair, and the perfect gift for any admirer of soft furnishings inspired by British decorative art.
