Hi there Archimedes, As far as the quilted linen argument not being depicted in art, the really early ones 560 to 520 bc tend to show a diagonal cross pattern an quite a few have what appears to be stitching in regular pattern indicating a type of quilting, again nothing concrete just what looks like quilting.
