Hackney Empire Medium Velvet Cushion - Midnight

This luxury British velvet cushion features a carnival of animals over a midnight background. Everyone has a favourite character in HACKNEY EMPIRE, which is at once breathtaking and humorous. Anthropomorphized animals dressed up in finery are depicted in this iconic print, and a hookah-smoking sloth, a frog in a bowler hat, a fanning otter and an imbibing badger allude to at least a few of the seven deadly sins. Originally oil-painted onto wood to simulate a hand-painted interior finish, HACKNEY EMPIRE combines a rich palette of midnight blue with highlights of jewel tones, from ochre to grenadine for a decadent and mesmerizing effect.
