OR WOT!
Trophy cushion - curious cat
Price £325.00
Designed by StyleCurious featured Mark H for ORWOT! Ltd, this 'trophy
cushion' is decorated with real gold (or silver) wire. The highly skilled
embroidery is done by craftspeople who have worked with precious metals
in this way for the last eight Kings and Queens of England. As Mark
says “The next time you see a piece of precious metal embroidery this
size will be at Prince William’s coronation. There are companies in
other parts of the world that produce embroidery for a fraction of the
cost, but it doesn’t look like this”. The faux astrakhan comes from
Oldham. In the 1920s, this manufacturer sent their product all over the
world. Mark explains that “People use the Chinese 40p a meter version
now, but it doesn’t feel like ours.” The black cotton silk mix fringe
is produced by Nick in a factory (that has been in the same family for
the past three generations) by a stream in Warwickshire. Each cushion
measures 16 inches square and is embroidered by hand. Please allow 7
days for delivery.
