The Product

Part of our range of home furnishings made from our own line of heritage moquettes, this 40cm cushion features a hidden zip and a plush insert. The moquette itself is designed and manufactured for use in passenger transport applications and is therefore extremely durable and has great stain resistance properties. By its nature, moquette is a heavy fabric with a wonderfully tactile texture that has to be felt to be believed. Choose from a duck feather or synthetic insert and this delightfully characterful cushion will add sparkle to your sofa or cheer to your chair.

The Pattern - Royal Tiger Lines

The Leyland Motor Company exhibited a groundbreaking design of new motor coach, the Royal Tiger, at the 1950 Commercial Motor Show at Earls Court. Featuring a new chassis with the engine mounted under the floor of the passenger saloon, the vehicle had a sleek modern appearance, which presaged the visual style of the "Festival of Britain" exhibition which took place in London the following year.

Many of these vehicles featured an eye-catching new design of internal upholstery, called 'Royal Tiger Lines'. 282 of these vehicles were built and saw service all over the country, although more than half of them were owned by Ribble Motor Services and were used on that organisation's network of express services across the North West of England and into Scotland.
