Description from the seller
Title of the piece: “Episcopal mitre with cross and golden galloon”
Period: Late 19th – early 20th century.
Country of origin: Italy
Condition: It shows creases, small marks and occasional wear of the fabric and decorative elements, visible in the photograph.
Episcopal mitre made in fabric in a golden yellow shade and adorned with gold threads, according to the information provided. The photographed face features a central cross with pointed arms, made with a golden galloon, and a decorative horizontal band that runs along the lower edge.
The set retains two long hanging bands, the same tone as the main body. Its design combines sober ornamentation with the contrast between the textile surface and the gilded metal details.
Dated by the owner to the late 19th and early 20th century, it constitutes a piece of interest for collectors of religious vestments, antique textiles and sacred art. There is no documentation available to identify the workshop of manufacture, its ecclesiastical provenance, or the bishop to whom it may have belonged.
In the photograph, creases, small surface marks and some occasional fraying on the edges of the hanging bands can be observed. The interior condition or the reverse cannot be confirmed with the available image. The photographs form part of the description and should be carefully reviewed before bidding.
The shipping of the product will be borne by the buyer and calculated based on dimensions, weight and destination. The shipping costs include professional custom packaging, as well as a personalized shipment with tracking number and warranty.
The buyer will be responsible for paying import duties and any applicable taxes in the destination country, if any. The seller is exempt from any liability regarding these charges, which are determined and levied by the customs authorities of the destination country. If an export permit is required, the corresponding costs will be borne by the buyer and will vary according to the value of the work.
