Historic Royal Palaces Modena Multi Cushion (30 x 50cm)

A Masterpiece of Restoration Artistry

Celebrate the opulence of the Stuart era with the Historic Royal Palaces Modena Multi Cushion. This stunning 30 x 50cm accessory is inspired by one of the most historically significant pieces of furniture in Britain: the 1688 State Bed of King James II and Mary of Modena, housed at Kensington Palace.

Inspiration: The “Warming Pan” Bed

The design of this cushion pays homage to the legendary “Mary of Modena Bed.” Notable for its association with the birth of the Prince of Wales in 1688—an event famously and controversially linked to a “warming pan”—the bed is a triumph of 17th-century craftsmanship.

The cushion’s intricate patterns are derived from the bed’s original polychrome velvets, likely manufactured in Italy (Modena) between 1680 and 1690, and its exquisite embroidered counterpane. This design translates centuries of royal history into a vibrant, multi-tonal print for the modern home.

Luxurious Fabric & Finishes

• 100% Cotton Front: The historical motifs are crisply printed onto a high-quality cotton base, ensuring every detail of the vintage scrollwork and floral patterns is captured.

• Sumptuous Velvet Reverse: For a truly royal feel, the reverse is crafted from soft cotton velvet, providing a tactile contrast and a touch of indulgent luxury.

• Refined Silhouette: The 30 x 50cm rectangular shape is perfect for adding lumbar comfort to an armchair or as a decorative layering piece on a formal bed.
