About the Item

This lot comprises five Portuguese altar cloths, dating from the 19th century, each representing the refinement and devotional artistry of ecclesiastical textiles from the period. Skillfully crafted in velvet, a fabric highly esteemed for its luxurious texture and association with solemn ceremonial use, these cloths are further enhanced by elaborate embroidery in both gold and silver thread. The shimmering metallic work adds depth and radiance, reflecting the sacred symbolism of precious materials in liturgical settings. Each piece displays delicate handwork, testifying to the dedication and skill of Portuguese artisans who produced them for use in church rituals and ornamentation. The collection offers varied dimensions, with the largest cloth measuring 63 x 38 cm and the smallest 33 x 17 cm, making them remarkable both historically and aesthetically.
