About the Item

This collection consists of six Portuguese altar cloths from the 19th century, each representing the refinement and devotion associated with ecclesiastical textiles of the period. Expertly crafted in velvet, a fabric long valued for its richness and ceremonial significance, the cloths are further elevated with intricate embroidery in gold thread. The addition of finely worked braid enhances the decorative quality, lending depth, texture, and luminosity to the designs. These embellishments reflect both artistic mastery and the symbolic use of gold in sacred contexts, where it was often associated with divine presence and reverence. The collection includes varied sizes, with the largest measuring 115 x 46 cm and the smallest 65 x 30 cm, making them versatile examples of Portuguese liturgical heritage and prized additions for collectors or study.
