Cushion
Description
One of a pair of Italian needlework cushions, circa 1790. The rectangular cushion is vibrant in colour, with depictions of twisting greenery and blooming florals. Multiple shades of green are used to give the illusion of shadow to the stems of the flowers, which contrasts with the saturated pink, blue and orange buds. The cushion has a cream base onto which this dense display of blooms are presented on.
