Description:

This hand-embroidered, hand-dyed cushion cover is inspired by the painted green flag flown over the General Post Office by the Irish rebels during the 1916 Easter Rising in Dublin.

Mary Shannon, a shirt maker in the Nationalist co-operative at Liberty Hall, had made the flag not long before the Rising.

The cover is a small tribute to the men who were so dignified in the face of their eventual executions, and the words of Seán MacDiarmada embroidered on the back are a reminder of their bravery and sacrifice.

Wool and Cotton · 50cm x 50cm · Insert not included

Craftsmanship

Our hand-embroidered pieces come with all the small unevenness and variations in colour, texture, size and finish that are the embodiment of handmade textiles. These items will not display the perfect uniformity of factory mass-production and variations from one piece to the next as well as small imperfections are not faults.
