[QUOTE="Jivvy, post: 1151530, member: 8184"]True, plus the church had (continues to have!) the motivation/resources to create vestments in a time when such needlework finery was/is no longer in secular demand. SIDE NOTE: "no longer in secular demand" excluding costume departments, of course - those Game of Thrones pieces didn't embroider themselves, lol. People who embroider (and, yes, this is embroidery, not weaving) commonly split thread bundles. Overall, this piece is in such excellent condition, I lean more toward 19th/20th century than earlier... there are some aspects that make me want to lean older (e.g., the heavy use of metal thread), but being ecclesiastical, who knows? All-in-all, it's a pretty excellent piece and I wouldn't attempt to sell it until I had it evaluated in person by someone with more knowledge than I have.[/QUOTE]
