Robert Gillmor – A Fox Chanced Upon Waters Edge Cushion by We Love Cushions

£33.49

A Fox Chanced Upon Waters Edge cushion is based on Robert Gillmor’s iconic artwork.  With a single-sided design it would fit well in a garden-room, sitting-room or bedroom.

The subject is a chance meeting between two who may be allies, though often foes – man and fox.  Gillmor captures the surprise encounter as the summer sun starts to dip, casting long shadows and silhouettes, with deep greens and the popping russet-red of the fox, conjuring nostalgia.

An ideal house-warming gift for young and old alike.

Robert Gillmor – Ducks Lapwings Falcons II Cushion by We Love Cushions

£33.49

This beautiful single-sided Ducks Lapwings Falcon II cushion is one of a complementary pair, based on Robert Gillmor’s iconic artwork, and would fit well in a garden-room, sitting-room or bedroom.

Lapwings are something of a favourite at Bee Eater HQ.  With their smart iridescent plumage, distinctive round-winged shape in flight and haunting wail, lapwings can often be spotted during winter on ploughed fields.  A group of lapwings is called a ‘deceit’ – named after the way the parent birds lure predators away from their nests by feigning a broken wing!  The innocence of the lapwings is off-set in this image by the predatory presence of the falcon overhead.

An ideal house-warming gift for young and old alike.

Robert Gillmor – Ducks Lapwings Falcon I Cushion by We Love Cushions

£33.49

This beautiful single-sided Ducks Lapwings Falcon I cushion is one of a complementary pair, based on Robert Gillmor’s iconic artwork, and would fit well in a garden-room, sitting-room or bedroom.

The ducks taking centre stage here are Garganeys.  Rarely seen due to their shy and secretive habits, there are only just over 100 breeding pairs in the UK.  The ducks in the background are Shovelers, their distinctive beaks hidden in the water, but recognisable by their chestnut coloured flanks.  The falcon swooping threateningly overhead is a hobby – his red trousers visible along with outspread talons, the dragonfly in front of him his prey.

An ideal house-warming gift for young and old alike.

Dimensions: 45 x 45cm • 100% Cotton/Linen Cover • Machine Washable • Removable Fibre Pad

Robert Gillmor – Snowy Owls Cushion by We Love Cushions

£33.49

This beautiful single-sided Snowy Owls cushion is based on Robert Gillmor’s iconic artwork, and would fit well in a garden-room, sitting-room or bedroom. The Snowy Owl is not a British native but may visit the northern reaches of the UK during the coldest spells.   With crystal white feathers, dark bars and speckles the Snowy Owls are set off magnificently against the dark blue background of this cushion.

An ideal house-warming gift for young and old alike.

Dimensions: 45 x 45cm • 100% Cotton/Linen Cover • Machine Washable • Removable Fibre Pad

Robert Gillmor – Partridge Meadow Cushion by We Love Cushions

£33.49

This beautiful single-sided cushion is based on Robert Gillmor’s iconic artwork, and would fit well in a garden-room, sitting-room or bedroom. The red-legged partridge was introduced to Britain in the 17th century and is far more often spotted than the now rare Grey variety.  Small groups of the bird are often seen outside the breeding season and are known as coveys.   In this striking illustration by Robert Gillmor, the Partridge’s distinctive red eye and beak are echoed in the crimson of the meadow poppies in the background.

An ideal house-warming gift for young and old alike.
