Bedcover embroidered with florals and Indian/Mughal-inspired motifs in silk and silver-wrapped thread and false quilted on an imported Indian cotton ground. These grand bedcovers were professionally made in and around London in the first half of the 18th century.
Overall very good to excellent condition: some minor tarnishing to the silver and light discoloration to cotton ground.
