Each South African Stamp Cushion Cover is completely unique as it comes with the actual original stamp (1954 - 1993) attached in a clear leather-wrapped pouch. These wonder art pieces from the country's history are now able to inspire and new pieces of art; a reminder of the days when stamps were used to send hopes, love and dreams.
There are two "series" available:
1954 Kruger Park Animal Stamps (In 1954 the Union of South Africa stamp series displaying wild animals from the Kruger National Park were released by the British Commonwealth.)
- Lion
- Hippo
- Elephant (SOLD OUT)
- Zebra
- Buffalo
- Warthog
- Leopard
- Rhino (1 left)
The 1987 Ciskei Toy Stamps are available under another listing.
Each pillow cushion cover is 50cmx50cm (about 19.5" squared), made of cotton twill and linen, and has an overlapped back to easily insert a pillow.
PLEASE NOTE: These are uniquely made so the following variations may exist: type of leather used to border the stamp (light, dark, cork-looking) and if/where the post office validated the stamp.
This listing is only for the pillow cover. However, I can sell you a supplemental cotton-lined duck feather-filled pillow that fits perfectly for an additional $15.
Please message me with the animal version you'd like after purchasing.
They can be hand-washed quickly and hung to dry without damaging the stamp. If you have other questions, please feel free to message me.
