THE LUTTRELL CARPET SHS Newsletter 2 2003
The Luttrell table carpet must have been one of the prize possessions of Dame Margaret Luttrell, for when she died in 1580, widow of Sir Andrew Luttrell of Dunster and East Quantoxhead, she left "her best and largest carpet", a magnificent example of heraldic tapestry, to her eldest daughter, Margaret. Sir Andrew Luttrell had been a servitor at the coronation of Anne Boleyn; Margaret was maid of honour to Queen Elizabeth. She married Peter Edgcumbe of Mount Edgcumbe in Devonshire in 1555.
The carpet passed into the possession of Lord Mount Edgcumbe of Cotehele House, Cornwall. After two centuries, it was acquired from there by Howard Carter, the famous Egyptologist. It was offered for sale at Christies on 13th July 1922 but was not sold. It was exhibited in 1927/8 in America in both the Pittsburgh and Chicago art galleries and was bought by Sir William Burrell on 18th December 1928.

- Citation Text: Dame Margaret Luttrell lived to a great age, sur- viving her husband by more than forty years. In 1543, she was registered as the owner of a ship of 100 tons belonging to the port of Minehead, but at that time in London.^ Having a considerable joint- ure, she was a powerful personage. As will be seen hereafter, she invested some of her savings in the purchase of the Priory of Dunster, after the dissolution of the monasteries, thereby consolidating the property of her successors. At her death in 1580, she was buried beside her husband and her father-in-law at East Quantockshead. *.
