The Story behind the Artwork
The cushions in the Weining Cape Cushion Collection are all made from vintage capes traditionally worn by the Miao people of the Bijie area of Guizhou in the south west of China. Each cushion is unique as they have been individually hand crafted by crafts women originally for use by their family. The decorative motifs represent the walls of a city which surround the vineyards representing wealth and abundance to the Miao people. Yellow applique is used to represent the provinces along the Yellow River from where the Miao people originate. There are two distinct types of cross stich used, one for horizontal and vertical lines and the other for designs on the diagonal.
All cushions are supplied with a duck down and feather insert. Size Assorted.
