‘Introduction’
Welcome to Feather & Down, a new company that primarily specialises in Licensed art on cushions. All of the cushions are approximately 43cm square (17”). The art cushions are digitally printed on 100% reverse cotton sateen to give the appearance of canvas and handmade in the UK to an extremely high standard, with great care to match the original work of art in colour and detail. Each cushion has a plain coloured cotton backing and is zipped. Feather & Down can also accommodate specialist commissions from original art and, dependant on copyright restrictions, will negotiate licensing fees. For exclusive commissions including varying sized cushions up to 40” square, with or without trims, plus shipping costs to countries other than UK, Europe, or USA, please e-mail requirements to denise@featheranddown.co.uk.
