Meaning of "hammercloth" in English

A "hammercloth" is a decorative cloth covering used on the front seat of a coach, carriage, or similar vehicles. Historically, it often served a dual purpose of embellishing the vehicle and protecting the seat's surface. Hammercloths were typically richly embroidered or made from expensive materials to convey the wealth or status of the vehicle's owner. Over time, with changes in vehicle design and manufacturing, hammercloths became less common and more of a historical or decorative piece within the context of preserved carriages or equestrian events.
