Gold crushed velvet chasuble

Museo Diocesano Tridentino
Trento, Italy

A fabric of the highest standard, rare in its technical solution and somewhat refined in its choice of color and decoration. The crushed velvet entrusts the threads of two different warps with the description and definition of the details of the design, which is marked by a strict compositional scheme. The motifs of the design, while highly stylized, do not reach geometric abstraction and preserve intact the grace of the floral pattern of reference.
