Description:

Basil Green “Hummingbirds in Love” Pillow (Peruvian Spatultails)

This is a one-of-a-kind custom accent pillow. The design has an elegant feel. It has two hummingbirds touching their beaks.

These birds are from third volume of John Gould's five volume book, “A Monograph of the Trcochilidae,” or, the family of hummingbirds — Image 200. John Gould was a famous ornithologist that lived from 1804 to 1881. This book of his was published in 1861 and is now in the public domain.

This particular type of hummingbird is called, “Spathura Peruana,” or “Peruvian Spatuletail. ”Spathura is derived from spatula — as the male's longest tail feathers look like spatulas. Peruana is derived from Peru. This is a rare hummingbird from Peru. In real life the male grow to 5 inches long — and the female about 3.25 inches long. In this design, he is about 4.25 inches long — and she is about 3.25 inches long.

The plant is an interesting cactus native to Peru — called Dalea. In Gould's design, the flowers are blue. (That is why we used blue.) It is more common that they are magenta or purple. During his research John also found the flowers in white or yellow. If you would like to place a custom order with this design, you might wish to consider, blue, magenta, purple, white or yellow flowers on your design.

John researched the design, and Beth created the pillow design. This is our first item with this design. Beth uses great computerized embroidery and sewing machines for the bulk of the work, then hand sews the final side shut. The fabric has a soft, smooth feel.

The pillow size is approximately 12″ x 16″ x 4″. Inside there is a new, soft pillow insert.

It has an ivory/cream front center panel with a linen like texture. It has a high quality green (basil green) upholstery fabric on the side panels and on the back.

This accent pillow would be great for someone:

  • that loves birds in general,
  • that loves hummingbirds specifically,
  • is from Peru,
  • for someone that has a british, oriental or an eclectic decor,
  • for someone that is using green accents that are close to this shade of green
  • a real estate agent staging an elegant home
  • or for someone that just likes little romantic touches — like these two Hummingbirds in Love.

On request, we could put this design other items, such as purses, totes, pillows or sweatshirts. We could also make this design using a few phrases in Chinese. Like: “Hummingbirds,” or “Love Birds.”

This accent pillow would be a great gift for a person:
