Historic Royal Palaces Hampton Jacquard Cotton 45x45cm Cushion

50 GBP

This design draws from a late 19th-century Chinese porcelain jardiniere, hand painted with peonies, butterflies, and birds. The luxurious fusion of eastern artistry seen across the palaces, has been translated onto a beautiful cushion and throw, bringing timeless elegance to any home interior. This gorgeous artwork has been woven in 100% cotton Jacquard, in an array of sumptuous colours. This cushion is filled with a fine denier, polyester cushion pad for a luxurious feel. Inspiration: William and Mary arrived from Holland to become King and Queen of England in 1689, and their Dutch heritage brought great influence on English tastes. They remodelled Hampton Court Palace in the fashionable new baroque style, which became the main centre of the court. Queen Mary had a profound passion for collecting porcelain, including vast quantities from Asia, and blue and white Delftware pottery from the Netherlands; all displayed lavishly across her palaces. Her legacy of collecting such items certainly set a trend for future monarchs to continue adding to this collection. Directly inspired by a 19th-century Chinese porcelain jardiniere, hand-painted with peonies, butterflies, and birds which would have been collected during the Victorian era and showcases how these ceramics continue to symbolise royal taste and luxury.Zip fasteningDry clean only100% CottonSize approx. 45 x 45 cm
