Description
Textile jewel of sacred art
This seventeenth-century capelet framed with museum glass is not only a textile piece: it is an embroidered testimony of faith, art and time. It was born as part of a majestic pluvial cloak, witness to centuries of solemn liturgies, processions amidst incense and chants, and anonymous hands that spun not only golden threads, but centuries of devotion.
What makes it special?
It is embroidered in gold and multicolored silks on a velvet that still retains its power of visual seduction. The leaves, quadripetal flowers and tendrils that intertwine in medallions not only adorn: they narrate. Separated by fine lines of golden cord, these details reveal a craftsmanship that is virtually unrepeatable today.
Framed with museum glass, this chapel is not only protected, it is honored. The frame makes this jewel of sacred art a perfect decorative piece for homes with soul, collectors and spaces that celebrate history. Imagine this piece presiding over a special corner, as if time stood still between walls that know how to look back.
Did you know that…?
Originally, capuchins were practical hoods derived from the Roman lacerna, designed to protect from the cold and rain during processions. But as early as the 12th century, symbol overcame function, and the hood became a ceremonial canvas, increasingly richer, larger, more ornate… until it reached, as in this case, a sublime aesthetic in the 17th century.
Ideal for:
- Collectors of religious or textile art.
- Decorators of vintage or historical interiors
- Spaces with a narrative: boutique hotels, concept stores, libraries with character
- Gift with history for lovers of symbolism and beauty with soul.
