About the Item

This lot features two Portuguese altar cloths from the 19th century, remarkable examples of sacred textile craftsmanship. Fashioned from rich velvet, a fabric traditionally reserved for important liturgical settings, each cloth is decorated with elaborate embroidery in both gold and silver thread. The shimmering metallic threads, carefully handworked, create a striking interplay of brilliance and texture, emphasizing the solemnity and symbolic grandeur of the pieces. While these altar cloths have survived for well over a century, they do present minor defects consistent with age and use, which serve as testimony to their authentic history and devotional function. Measuring an impressive 64 x 148 cm, they are notable not only for their size but also for their aesthetic richness, making them valuable additions for collectors of ecclesiastical textiles or historical artifacts.
