Offering a remarkable antique ecclesiastical vestment featuring finely woven polychrome floral silk, probably of Lyonnaise origin, dating to the second quarter of the 18th Century (the textile, with its supplementary-weft patterning, exhibits characteristics of that era). The vestment, with its vibrant, naturalistic flowers in shades of peach, green, yellow, ivory and rose, is finished with decorative metallic-thread galloon.
The vestment is attached by thread to a silk background and framed in a gold-colored, period-styled, high quality wood frame measuring about 54 inches high, 38 wide, glazed with a sheet of plastic. The garment itself measures about 43 1/2 long, 26 wide.
This highly decorative and unusual example of historic ecclesiastical textile work, is suitable for display as a textile, religious artifact, or decorative wall object.
