Bayeux Cushions

Woven Tapestry Cushions finely woven by skilled weavers on Jacquard looms. Woven in France, these fine quality cushions are meticulously hand-finished with a luxurious British Velvet backing.

Bayeux Cushions Collection:- The Bayeux Tapestry is a unique historical record depicting the events surrounding the Norman Conquest of England, which culminated in the Battle of Hastings in 1066 between the armies of Harold, King of England, and William, Duke of Normandy.

William Morris Tapestry Cushions:- The traditional technique of weaving tapestries was revived in England in the last quarter of the 19th Century, many tapestries being produced by the firm of Morris & Co at Merton Abbey, Surrey. This revival of the ‘Decorative Arts’ style was influenced in part by the Medieval Tapestries of the 15th Century and the Aristolochia leaves of a later period.
