Description from the seller
Antique liturgical linen artifact, presumably intended to cover a sacred object or used during the Eucharistic celebrations.
Of an almost square shape, it measures 81x84 cm and is made of fabric presumably cotton, particularly soft and silky to the touch.
It features rich hand-made embroidery, with a striking depiction of two angels kneeling in adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, represented through a radiant monstrance, surrounded by ornamental motifs in shades of blue.
Completing the decoration are floral motifs, a dove, and an elaborate monogram with finely interwoven initials, belonging to S, R and B in blue and G in gray, accompanied by the embroidered date “22 Dec. 1900” (22 December 1900).
The fabric is finished with delicate openwork.
An antique artifact that shows slight color smudges due to prior washes, visible in the photos.
The photos are an integral part of the description and allow observation of the embroidery details, finishes, and the state of preservation.
