Description from the seller
Antique Spanish religious processional embroidered float skirt – 19th century (1850–1900).
A magnificent, antique textile piece used in religious processions, dating from the 19th century. This valuable ornamental skirt—or decorative border—was originally designed to adorn processional floats ("andas") and pedestals. It possesses a profound and solemn aesthetic presence, set against a base of black velvet.
It features artisanal raised embroidery (embroidery in relief) crafted with metallic thread on black velvet. The design includes pointed (ogival) arches and stylized floral and plant-based motifs, framed by a beaded-style border along the top edge. The reverse side is backed with linen.
Processional textile / decoration for antique religious processional structures.
Measures: 108 x 49 cm.

The final photograph is an illustrative historical recreation, intended to help you visualize the original function of this piece.
