From Downton Abbey to Pemberley …

COSTUMES worn by Jennifer Ehle, Nicole Kidman, Keira Knightley, and Maggie Smith in some of Britain’s favourite historical TV dramas – including Downton Abbey, Pride and Prejudice, Jane Eyre, The Duchess and The Portrait of a Lady –are on display at The Quilt Museum and Gallery in York in a new exhibition, Setting the Scene, which runs until August 30.

Spanning 1770 to 1925, the exhibition includes a quilted silk petticoat, a meticulously pieced mosaic patchwork coverlet made from a wide range of early printed cottons, and quilts and coverlets from all strata of society.
