Description
Dark blue antique linen cushion handcrafted with antique flour sacks.
DOES NOT INCLUDE THE CUSHION PAD.
Linen grain sacks were formerly used throughout Europe for their strength, durability, and functionality. Our antique linen sacks of grain were used mainly for the storage of flour. The lands and properties were divided into several landowners. During the harvest, the wheat of each landowner was taken to the mill to produce flour. Each landowner or family used a different linen sack, with each sack differentiated by a ‘signature’. This signature was basically the play of colors, lines and thicknesses of each line of colors printed on each bag.
For this reason, each dark blue natural linen antique sack cushion is unique. Some antique sacks have two narrow lines, others combine wide central lines with narrow lines, while other vintage cushions have lines in the center and on the sides; and so we could say there are endless combinations for each antique linen cushion.
They match perfectly with more natural linen cushions and with the wabisabi style of our antique stools and of our antique benches.
