A lush Velvet Mulberry fabric cushion patterned with long-standing rich symbols of China: the birdcage and the monkey.

Luxurious fabric that glides beneath your fingertips. This cushion has a playful pattern of iconic Chinese emblems, evoking a better life - one of success and pleasure.

The act of keeping birdcages was a social status one, starting in the Qing dynasty. Owning a winged friend was a sign of the playboy -the sign of a life of joy, of leisure, of play. That's where the monkey swings in. A wily, intelligent being, the monkey knows the value of a good time. Perhaps that joy is why the symbol has persevered in China for centuries and is now taking its Journey to the West.

But let the monkeys play and the birds chirp; you've got this velvet comfort to sink into. Rest this cushion in the living room or bedroom: anywhere needs a little more fun.
