A pale gold stag, antlers and all, mounted on a woven shield and set against chocolate-brown basketweave. Uncle Buck Java is the one pillow a room full of oak, fir and leather has been waiting for, and it holds a corner of a sofa without any help. From across the room it reads as a lodge motif. Up close it reads as good cloth, because the stag is woven into the weave rather than printed on top of it.
Details & Construction
- Uncle Buck in Java, Decor Fifty-Five fabric FB15314 (mill code VLWD47D)
- Pale gold stag skull and antlers on a shield plaque, woven in the same novelty cotton yarns as the ground
- Dark chocolate-brown basketweave field, flecked with gold where the weave catches the light
- Large-scale motif: each stag runs about 14.75" tall by 10" wide, so one full stag centers the 24-inch face
- Face cloth is 83% cotton and 17% polyester with a soil and stain resistant finish, rated 39,000 double rubs
- Contrast back in Monaco Linen, a quiet solid so the pillow can be turned around
- 24" x 24" knife-edge cover, hand-sewn in Atlanta by Decor Fifty-Five from designer mill fabric
- Plush USA-made down insert that holds a square instead of going flat
- SKU UNCLE-BUCK-JAVA-D55
Styling Tips
Brown on brown is the easy answer, so give the stag somewhere to breathe instead: a cognac leather chair, a slate wool sectional, or a cream slipcover where the gold has real contrast to work against. One is a statement and two is a pair, but three across the same sofa turns into wallpaper, so stop at two and let solid oatmeal or olive fill the rest of the seat.
It also does the job a piece of wall art would, which matters in a room with a fireplace and no good wall left. Layer it with the rest of our throw pillows and blankets, ground the group with a rug, and pull the browns forward with warm wood and brass from home decor. Building the whole corner? Start with living room furniture and an accent chair, and let the pillow land last.
Care
- Cleaning code S: solvent-based cleaners only
- Spot clean with a dry, absorbent cloth, never a water-based cleaner, which can shrink or ring the weave
- Professional solvent cleaning for overall soiling
- Vacuum or brush lightly so the basketweave does not hold dust
- Fluff the down insert daily so the knife edges stay plump
- Keep out of prolonged direct sun so the dye does not fade
This is a full 24-inch sofa pillow, not a lumbar leftover, so it actually holds its corner instead of disappearing into the seat. Decor Fifty-Five cuts every cover in their Atlanta workroom. Come feel the cloth at What's New Furniture on SE Grand or at the Cedar Mill showroom on NW Murray Road, and ask the floor team to pull the tag so you can confirm the SKU before it goes home.
