Product Information

Cleopatra Embroidered Velvet Cushion Cover on Black

Bring a touch of Ancient Egypt to a sofa, bed or reading chair with this embroidered cushion cover. A side-profile portrait of Cleopatra, with a cobra on her crown, an ankh and a striped collar, is stitched in blue, orange, sage, yellow and caramel thread across a deep black velvet. Every line is chain-stitch embroidery rather than a print, so the portrait has texture you can see and feel. It is a 50 × 50 cm (20 × 20 in) square cover for an insert you already own, closing with a zip in the bottom seam.

Key Features

  • Chain-stitch embroidery — the whole portrait is stitched, not printed, for raised texture and depth
  • Cleopatra portrait — cobra crown, ankh, blue eye make-up and a striped collar in rich colours
  • Black velvet — a soft, deep pile that makes the embroidery colours stand out
  • Zip in the bottom seam — the insert slips in and out and the front stays clean
  • Standard 50 × 50 cm size — fits a 50 × 50 cm insert, or a 55 × 55 cm one for a fuller cushion
  • Statement piece — a talking point on a neutral sofa or in a themed room

Where This Cushion Cover Belongs

  • Cream, beige or grey sofas that need one bold focal point
  • Egyptian-themed, Art Deco and maximalist interiors with black and gold accents
  • Bedrooms, reading chairs and window seats
  • Home offices, studies and libraries
  • Boho and eclectic schemes, layered with plain mustard, navy or rust cushions
  • A gift for history lovers, Egyptology fans and anyone back from a trip to Egypt

Black velvet with chain-stitch embroidery

  • Hand wash only, in cold water
  • Spot clean small marks
  • Do not bleach
  • Do not tumble dry
  • Dry flat away from direct heat
  • Do not iron the velvet directly

  • 1 × Cleopatra embroidered velvet cushion cover, 50 × 50 cm (20 × 20 in), black
  • Cushion insert not included (cover only)

The cover measures 50 × 50 cm (20 × 20 in). For a full, plump cushion use a 55 × 55 cm (22 × 22 in) insert; a 50 × 50 cm insert also fits and gives a flatter, tailored look. The cover is not made for 45 × 45 cm (18 × 18 in) or 60 × 60 cm (24 × 24 in) cushions.

No. You receive one Cleopatra embroidered velvet cushion cover, with no insert or filling, so you can refresh a cushion you already own. Slip a 50 × 50 cm (20 × 20 in) insert in through the zip in the bottom seam, or choose a 55 × 55 cm (22 × 22 in) insert for a fuller cushion.

Embroidered. The whole portrait is worked in chain stitch on black velvet, so every line of the crown, collar and face is raised thread you can see and feel. A printed cover is flat by comparison. Up close, each row of chain stitches follows the shape of the face, the crown and the striped collar.

Hand wash only, in cold water, and spot clean small marks between washes. Do not bleach and do not tumble dry, as heat and tumbling crush the velvet pile and can pull the stitching. Dry the cover flat away from direct heat, and do not iron the velvet directly.

It suits a sofa that is used every day, with some care. The embroidery is dense, but sharp claws can catch a stitch and velvet holds pet hair. Brush or lint-roll hair away, blot spills straight away and spot clean them, and hand wash in cold water when the whole cover needs it.

Yes. The stitched portrait, with its cobra crown, ankh and striped collar, makes it a conversation piece for Egyptology fans, history lovers and anyone back from a trip to Egypt. It arrives as a cover, so they can use a cushion insert they already have.

The black velvet carries blue, orange, sage, yellow and caramel thread, so it pairs with plain mustard, navy, rust or cream cushions and with gold or brass accents. On a cream, beige or grey sofa it becomes the focal point. Colours can look slightly different on screen.

Delivery is free to every country we ship to: 3–5 business days in the UK, 4–8 in Europe, 6–10 to the USA, and 8–12 to Canada and Australia. If the cover is not right for your room, you can return it within 30 days of delivery.
