Elegant, elongated, hand block-printed ‘Culpeper Cushions’, by artists Cameron Short & Janet Tristram of Bonfield Block Printers’.

Fusing the hedgerow and the heavens, Bonfield’s ‘Culpeper cushions’ are informed by the work of the C17th astrological herbalist and firebrand, Nicholas Culpeper and constructed from 1800s linens. Appropriately, they are plant-dyed using indigo.

Bonfield wanted to mimic the deep, heavenly blue of the famous vaulted ceiling in the Cappella degli Scrovegni, painted by Giotto in around 1305, and the colour is accurate.
The block prints, depicting plants and their ruling planets and celestial bodies, plus ribbons carrying the names, are in linseed-based Old gold. They provide a striking contrast to the lapis lazuli linen ground. Each cushion is uniquely beautiful.

Cushion 1: Viper’s Bugloss ; Sun, Sage ; Jupiter, Fleawort ; Saturn

Cushion 2: Purslane ; Moon, Mustard ; Mars, Sage ; Jupiter

Cushion 3: Purslane Moon & Stars
The block print is accompanied by a firmament of stars, hand-embroidered by Janet using antique gold thread.

The back of the cushion is emblazoned with Bonfield’s block-printed emblem, again in Old gold, on a raised patch. It shows an earthbound & celestial plough.
The cushion has an envelope-style opening, allowing the deluxe, feather-filled pad to be removed. Hand-wash gently in lukewarm water.

Dimensions: Height - 37cm, Length - 80cm
