<p>[QUOTE="JoeCarson, post: 1102178, member: 5981"]I have this "tapestry" which seems to be an orphrey worn on a chasuble, and it looks Catholic and handwoven to me. The level of detail and precision of each thread is foreign to me. One saint holds what looks like a key (Peter?) and the other points to a book (Paul?). I look at the motifs above the saints, and they look like Baroque or Rococo flowery urns to me. I haven't found any modern orphreys that look like this, so I assume if this orphrey isn't modern, it would be 18th or 19th century, but online, the only comparable examples I find are 15th - 17th century. It has metallic thread in some areas. I was just wondering if anyone else had any insight as to dating, value, subject matter, origin, etc.[ATTACH=full]210736[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]210737[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]210738[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]210739[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]210740[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]210741[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
