About the Item

This lot presents a set of four Portuguese altar cloths, dating from the 19th century, which beautifully illustrate the artistry and devotion embodied in ecclesiastical textiles of the era. Each cloth is fashioned from rich velvet, a fabric long associated with ceremonial dignity, and is further enriched with fine embroidery in gold and silver thread. The metallic stitching adds brilliance and depth, creating a luminous effect that underscores the spiritual significance of these sacred objects. Their handwork reflects both the skill of Portuguese artisans and the reverence invested in liturgical furnishings. The collection features varied dimensions, with the largest measuring 70 x 58 cm and the smallest 44 x 32 cm, offering a diverse yet cohesive group of textiles ideal for study, display, or private devotional collections.
