Pomona I French Cushion

Pomona I: This European jacquard tapestry cushion cover is one of the many versions of the Autumnal figure, Pomona, designed in the 1880's by William Morris and Edward Burne-Jones. The tapestry design is inspired by William Morris's work entitled "Pomona". I am the ancient Apple-Queen, As once I was so am I now. For evermore a hope unseen, Betwixt the blossom and the bough. Ah, where's the river's hidden Gold! And where the windy grave of Troy? Yet come I as I came of old, From out the heart of Summer's joy.
