    <title>Siege De Duvet</title>
    <link>xml-rss2.php?itemid=22</link>
    <description><![CDATA[Siege de Duvet is a system of upholstery developed by esteemed makers such as Howard and Sons.<br />
<br />
It describes a cushion with "pockets" to keep the eiderdown feathers in place, particularly useful in fixed arm and back cushions where plumping up would be difficult.<br />
<br />
Below is the back of one our Sharcott Armchairs based on an original Howard and Sons design. This perfectly demonstrates the siege de duvet principal with 2 internal baffles creating 3 separate pockets for feathers:<br />
<br />

<br />
This 3 Seat Earlswood Sofa is a perfect example of a sofa with cushions using the siege de duvet technique:<br />
