Vintage French Silk Scarf with Irish Linen Cushions Pillows

About the Item

Unique custom made one-of-a-kind cushions (pillows) created from a stunning vintage silk 1960s fashion scarf in an eye catching multicolored geometric pattern. The design is reminiscent of stained glass with strong hues emphasized and brightened by the white interlacing each segment. In a very fine silk found in Marché Dauphine in Paris, soft to the touch the silk has been artisan screen printed by hand, making it exceptional quality and original. You may notice slight overlaps in places of the dye and apparent blemished in dye due to this method which should to not be considered flaws, we feel they add to their overall character. They’re pattern fallen in different places adding extra charm. These spectacular home accessories will really ‘pop’ on your chair or sofa. Backed in new 100% pure Irish linen, the aristocrat of textiles and certified by the Irish Linen Guild, lined in a layer of natural bamboo wadding, filled with new plush duck feather insert and a concealed zip. The traditional oatmeal color linen is a combination of the unbleached raw color of the natural flax plant on the weft intertwined with pristine white on the warp, resulting in a beautiful mottled effect. Contemporary cushions (pillows) constructed with antique elements by using fragments of precious fabric. Handcrafted in Ireland by designer-maker Katie Larmour for KL Design Ireland Studio. Color: Multi-color, rainbow of primary yellow, blue, red, baby pink, pale blue, lime, rust, orange, purple pink and navy.

  • Vintage Hermes Equestrian Silk Scarf and Irish Linen Cushion Pillow
    By Hermès
    Located in Belfast, Northern Ireland
    Katie Larmour Studio is the original vintage scarf pillow maker. Gaining notability for her unique idea and creations back in 2013 - featured in the likes of the Financial Times, and first selling here on 1stdibs in 2016 - our creations are of the absolute top most quality, craftsmanship and finesse. Thank-you for looking. Title: Vintage Hermes Equestrian Silk Scarf and Irish Linen Cushion Pillow The ‘crème de la crème’ of scarves, this beauty is a one-of-a-kind luxury cushion (pillow) created from an exquisite vintage silk Hermes fashion scarf in their festive ‘Les Rubans Du Cheval’ equestrian pattern by Joachim Metz in 1988. A variety of elaborate ribbon rosettes in vibrant, colourful hues - an ornament made of pleated material, gathered so as to resemble a rose and worn as a decorative badge to show ranking in a competition. The French company began in 1837 producing superior quality leather goods, harnesses and saddles, which makes sense that 100 years later the main theme on their luxury scarves is equestrian. Hermes scarves, known as ‘carre’ (squares), have become a symbol of French chic and are a highly desirable object across the globe that still continues to delight. Favoured by the ‘jet-setters’ of the 50s and 60s and gaining iconic status by Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly and this particular elegant design even worn by Queen Elizabeth II. The name of the print along with the brand’s signature proudly features in the centre. The attractive equestrian design is a delicately detailed illustration of bridal equipment with buckles, leather straps, feminine mermaids holding up functional hoops and lions holding crests on other sections of the metal hardware adorning the elaborate piece. It features a display of two equestrian horse bride dressings symmetrical like a mirror image of each other. In a dramatic, busy picture of multicoloured ribbon colour way on a quality sumptuous twill silk with a beautiful texture. It was made using the ‘Lyonnaise technique’ silk screen process with each of it’s 13 frames traditional laid one by one by hand (the more complex patterns can go out to 42). Before being carefully unravelled to create our cushion, the edge was delicately hand rolled and hemmed, a distinctive French style finish of all Hermes scarves. We also have a couple of other similar stunning Hermes scarf cushions...
