RARE ELIZABETHAN CUSHION COVER

RARE ELIZABETHAN CUSHION COVER embroidered in coloured silks and silver bullion with flowering tendrils and branches enclosed by a silver bullion-work border, 56cm x 65cm, in a later oak frame with a parcel-gilt mount. This rare cushion-cover, or coverlet, may be compared stylistically to a needlework binding dateable to 1602 from the collection of Judge Irwin Untermyer.
