Description
Rich in symbolism, the fruit of the pomegranate (Punica granatum) was the personal emblem of Catherine of Aragon, the first wife of Henry VIII of England.
Indigenous to the Mediterranean, the globular fruit contains hundreds of juicy seeds surrounded by a leathery skin and is a popular motif in decorative arts.
Used to decorate this stylish cushion, the pomegranate is stitched with crewel wool onto linen twill with the lush colours echoed in the fringe trim.
