A boxed Sajou kit to embroider a cushion inspired by the reconstruction of the Emperor’s campaign tent from the Napoleonic wars.
On the ground of the tent there is a leopard-print carpet, evoking the saddle-cloths of cavalry officers. The tent was set up on battlefields and comprised a bedroom in the back with an iron bed with a strap base and in the front, a study with a folding writing desk and chairs.
The size of motif is 168 stitches wide by 170 stitches high and the size of finished embroidery is 28 x 28.3cm.

Sajou produce haberdashery items made in France to the highest standards (in some cases even produced on the original old machinery). Perfect for gifts and collectors, and for those of you unable to resist a quality that is seldom found in today's mass produced haberdashery products.
Sajou was created in 1828 by Jaques- Simon Sajou, selling haberdashery for embroidery, tapestry, lace, crochet and weaving. His pattern albums are sought after to this day by collectors worldwide. In 2005 the Sajou brand was purchased and revived by avid collector; Frederique Crestin- Billet. Many of the old designs have been faithfully reproduced and there are some new designs that have been added in the Sajou style.
Materials: 32 Count Embroidery Linen, Cross Stitch Chart, Retours du Nord Embroidery Thread, Gift Box.
