A large emerald-green peony spreads its petals across this Nishijin silk brocade. Fine black outlines trace the petals and the long curves of the foliage. At the centre of the flower, subtly raised golden woven dots catch the light. The blue-green ground has a metallic sheen that shifts with the light.

Made in Paris by Sinapango Interiors from a vintage Japanese obi, this 30 × 50 cm cushion uses the original width of the woven fabric. It has a removable cover with a plain black silk satin reverse. Edition of two.

Ivory, natural linen and greige bring out the peony’s outline. Sage green and pearl grey echo the cooler tones of the ground. Cognac leather or walnut pick up the golden centre, while midnight blue, burgundy and aubergine offer deeper pairings.
