| - A large square cover of inlaid patchwork and applique, mostly in wools, with panels depicting a variety of domestic, military, allegorical and commemorative scenes or containing floral decorations.
The quilt is made up of wool intarsia, wool and silk applique, with wool and silk embroidered details. It is supported on coarse linen and is fully lined. There are a variety of wool grounds present, mostly plain-weave with a raised nap, and some twill; some show evidence of having been pieced together in previous use. Spangles (sequins) have been used for the coat buttons of two gentlemen depicted in the upper portion of the design.
The whole cover has a wide border of floral garlands. In the centre of the lower edge of this border there is a panel with an inscription embroidered in black silk, which has largely disintegrated. Above this panel is a skeleton with a scythe and hourglass, symbolising Death, standing between two obelisks.
The centre of the cover is dominated by a framed depiction of the Imperial eagle of the Holy Roman Empire, bordered with panels of floral swags and garlands. The panels around this border all contain military imagery. Below the eagle, the lower third of the central design is a panorama depicting a small walled city under siege, with armed forces either side of it. To the left of the city there are small cannons positioned behind zig-zag barricades. Behind these is small number of military figures, with two figures wearing blue coats firing long firearms out of a group of trees. Four long firearms are positioned on the ground, alongside a stack of red military drums. Behind these are lines of pale-coloured tents, each with a coloured band running across the top ridge. To the right of the city there are four lines of cavalry followed by a group of foot-soldiers marching in a square military formation around a small number of flag-bearers, drummers and a man on horseback.
The upper-section of the central design is composed of a number of smaller square panels containing a variety of scenes, interspersed with floral decorations. The scenes run left-to-right from the top as follows:
* Chimneysweep with brush on shoulder, outside a house
* Two men watching the ascent of a hot-air balloon
* Lady sitting in a forest (possibly with a bird in a cage)
* Adam and Eve by a tree
