About the Item

This lot features five Portuguese altar cloths from the 19th century, exemplifying the exquisite craftsmanship and devotional artistry characteristic of Portuguese ecclesiastical textiles. Each cloth is made of luxurious velvet, a fabric long associated with ceremonial and religious use, providing both a rich texture and an elegant backdrop for detailed decoration. The surfaces are meticulously adorned with embroidery in gold and silver thread, creating a striking interplay of metallic sheen and intricate patterns that enhance the visual and symbolic richness of the pieces. These finely executed designs reflect both the skill of the artisans and the sacred purpose of the cloths within liturgical settings. The collection presents varied dimensions, with the largest measuring 68 x 52 cm and the smallest 53 x 32 cm, offering a cohesive yet diverse representation of 19th-century Portuguese textile artistry.
