Part of our range of home furnishings made from authentic moquette fabric from the golden days of steam, this 40cm cushion features the design 'Charcoal Check' which could be found in rail rolling stock the length of the country in the last century and still features in many preserved coaches found in traffic at heritage steam railways to this day.  

Featuring a plush duck feather inner and a hidden zip, this item stands out as something special in a home setting.  This item is made from transport grade material and is therefore extremely hard-wearing and resistant to spills and stains.  By its nature, moquette is a heavy fabric with a wonderfully tactile texture that has to be felt to be believed.

"Charcoal Check" was introduced in 1967, first appearing in the brand new Mk. 2 coaches which were being introduced by British Rail at this time. For many years after it ceased to be specified for passenger use, it became the standard design for upholstering the seats in locomotives and multiple unit cabs, and is still used for this purpose today.
