Antique Ecclesiastical Embroidered Cover

Spanish or Italian and dating from early 17th century Circa 1620

Dark red silk velvet embroidered with Chalice within beautiful meandering floral borders in Silver metal threads

Remnants of original metallic tassel trim top and bottom

Probably part of an elaborate set of Altar textiles, perhaps a Chalice Cover

This renaissance textile is over 400 years old and of course shows signs of wear commensurate with this immense age. The silk velvet is a little darker in colour than the photographs under studio lights The last close up photo is closer to actual colour

Please study photographs as they do form a very important part of description

An extremely rare museum worthy textile If like me , you seek out exquisite ancient beautifully time worn textiles you will love it

SIZE 21 inches high x 19 inches wide (53cm x 48cm)
