Archetypal '30s Glamour!











This French Art Deco embroidered cushion cover just oozes '30s glamour! It is an unused panel embroidered on pre-stenciled hemp, it would have been made into an oval silk or velvet backed cushion typical of the period; more details on my website.

  1. I just love your cushion cover - very nice example. I have often seen them with the squares cut out so you can see the fabric of the cushion below, like looking through a leaded window I suppose. So much work!

  2. I have seen that too, as this was never made up into a cushion, it may have been mean't to have the squares cut out!
