Item Description
Exceptionally rare 17th Century stumpwork Reliquary frame. Designed to enshrine an image of a Saint as the focus for daily Devotions.
Beautifully detailed and rich with symbolism. The exceptionally skilful embroiderer has used a complex range of contrasting stitches to create texture. Each element has been worked in silk, wool, silver and gold threads.
In original unrestored condition. Probably French and brought from a Scottish Country House some years ago.
The silk stumpwork has a bronze inner and outer frame.
40.5cm x 34.5 cm with 20cm x 14cm opening
