About the Item

This lot comprises three altar cloths of Portuguese origin, dating from the 19th century, and exemplifying the refinement of ecclesiastical textile art from the period. Each cloth is crafted from rich velvet, a luxurious fabric traditionally associated with devotion, solemnity, and ceremonial use. The surfaces are beautifully adorned with intricate embroidery in gold thread, further enhanced with finely applied braid, creating a striking interplay of texture and brilliance. Such decoration not only conveys visual richness but also reflects the symbolic association of gold with divinity and sacred worship. The careful handwork demonstrates the dedication and artistry of Portuguese needlecraft in religious contexts. With measured dimensions of 47 x 60 cm, these cloths are ideally suited for both liturgical study and as collectible pieces of historic ecclesiastical textile heritage.
