Ma did seat covers like these and tended to generically call them tapestry, although it was finer work. That would be early 50s ish. From memory,...
Not neccessarily weddings, but certainly in the Spanish style. Lovely things. Brooch back looks 40s ish or later.Did you test the stones?

Mmmmm..... clips..............want.
Which British company? It would not surprise me if they were born here. I think Edwardian, 1910s ish, anyhow.
Not surprised that aj knows this, my Dutch colleagues were masters at Brit speak. ;)
<idly wonders if aj knows what to pull means colloquially>
I'd give that a vinegar bath, it will come up nicely.
Separate names with a comma.
