Antique Altar - Silk

Altarpiece – "Armador Carvalho - Domingos da Silva Lessa", 19th century (1850-1900), Portugal. Measures: 381 x 102 cm. Antique mid-19th-century altar cloth featuring a garnet/ burgundy ornamental weave with floral motifs and gold metallic thread braid. Probably used at the back of the altar. Hand signed: "Armador Carvalho / Nº 8 / Anagrama" (detailed photographs). Stamp: "6 Cov. / Domingos da Silva Lessa / Carvalho Armador". It displays an elaborate symmetrical design of floral and vegetal motifs. The pattern appears to be integrated into the fabric structure. Stylized acanthus leaves, and large, feathery fronds that repeat vertically. This type of vegetal design is characteristic of Hispano-Italian and French influenced sacred textiles produced in liturgical passementerie workshops during the 18th and 19th centuries. It is finished on all four edges with gold metallic thread braid and features a hand-sewn, coarse fabric backing. The reverse side retains ink stamp indicating the manufacturer or religious congregation, along with a handwritten sign. Materials: silk, linen, gold metallic thread braid. Color: Garnet / burgundy. Measures: 381 x 65 cm. Condition: used, very good condition. Shows creases, wear, and signs of aging. It retains its original structure and decorative elements, with marks consistent with use over time. The edges show a loss of gold thread along the entire structure. There are no tears or breaks. The piece has been cleaned only superficially. The item you will receive is the one that has been photographed. The photographs are an important part of the description.
