How old are these cushions?

The pieces span from the mid-nineteenth century through to the early twentieth century. This timeline covers various periods including specific dates from eighteen-fifty onwards. Most items reflect nineteenth-century craftsmanship, utilising genuine antique fragments rather than modern reproductions. This age gives each cushion a distinct historical character.

What materials are used?

The face of each cushion consists of hand-woven wool created using traditional flat-weave techniques. This natural fibre provides the durable and tactile surface characteristic of tribal textiles. Cotton often appears as a secondary material used for backing and internal structure. This combination supports the antique wool textile while making the piece suitable for daily use.

How do I care for antique wool cushions?

Gentle treatment preserves the antique wool fibres and handmade structure of the textile. Regular light vacuuming through a mesh guard helps remove dust without pulling the weave. Professional specialist cleaning is recommended for any deeper maintenance to protect the historical materials. Keeping them out of direct sunlight prevents the wool colours from fading.
