  • In the 17th century the majority of wooden chairs and stools were not upholstered, and in more prosperous homes, decorated cushions were widely used both for comfort and for the attractiveness of their appearance. Long cushion covers like this were specifically made to fit wooden benches and window seats. We do not know the identity of Mary Hulton, whose name appears on the cushion. The quality of the embroidery, and the amount of metal thread worked into it, suggests that it was professional rather than domestic work, so it may have been commissioned by her. Heraldic motifs, like the Royal Arms incorporated here, were often included in 17th century embroidery, reflecting an overriding interest in family and social position. (en)
