Antique Priest’s Stole & Chasuble Cross Fragment – Velvet & Goldwork Embroidery

France – Late 19th Century

Antique French liturgical textile ensemble from a private Parisian estate, dating to the late 19th century (ca. 1880–1900).

The set consists of a complete priest’s stole and a matching cruciform chasuble orphrey fragment. Both pieces are made of deep crimson silk velvet with high-relief gold and silver bullion embroidery. The cross fragment depicts the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary in a sunburst, flanked by roses and lilies. The stole is edged with gold galloon trim and features embroidered crosses at the ends.

Good antique condition with vibrant metallic threads. The cross is a salvaged fragment carefully removed from its original vestment, showing white cotton backing and basting stitches along the edges—ideal for framing. The stole is complete with its original lining. See photos for details.

Dimensions:

Cross fragment: 1.11 mtr x 38 cm
Stole: Length 2.12 mtrs x 16 cm
