A sweet vintage textile rescue, upcycled into a comfy bolster, created by the legendary Rose Cumming who arrived in New York in 1917 from an Australian sheep station. set up shop and soon after began producing her iconic fabrics. She quickly became the toast of the town, recognized for her unique talent and unparalleled sense of color and bold pattern as well as her personal flamboyance and eccentricity. She was one of the "Great Lady Decorators" who helped invent the field of professional decorating and interior design in the early twentieth century. A-list decorators, celebrities and royalty were dedicated fans.

True to her name, she designed a great many rose florals that survive today, although many such as Rose Medallion can only be rescued from collector’s carefully preserved archives. This particular rescue probably dates to the early eighties.

Matching pink poms trim the edge, keeping the bolster soft and fun. The color combination of pink and grey is sophisticated and feminine.
