dustcover

Protective furniture sheet

A dustcover is a protective cover that shields something from dust when not in use.

On a book, it's the removable paper jacket wrapped around the binding.

On a turntable, it's the hinged plastic lid.

On furniture, it's a cloth draped over chairs or sofas in storage: She lifted the dustcover to reveal the antique sofa beneath.
