[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

The cover fabric for the back to an interior carriage seat? The back wouldn’t wear out as much as the seat.

They are old and very worn, with velvet on one side and leather on the other. Both have a small round impression in the same corner – this can be seen at the top centre of the photo. The velvet doesn’t appear to have been regularly sat or stepped on, so we don’t think they are seat covers or some kind of mat/rug. We’re stumped. Any ideas, museum pros?
