Unique Pair of Hand Embroidered Silk & Copper Thread Gothic Art Christograms IHS
About the Item
Beautiful and meaningful handcrafted church relics with IHS and Pax Christi symbols.
Last year we acquired the best part of a collection of handcrafted antique church relics. The former owner was an avid collector and restorer of religious artefacts and he had also written books about this subject matter. We never had the chance to meet him, but from what we heard from his relatives, he was extremely knowledgeable. We had never seen this kind of hand-embroidered church relics and after searching the worldwide web we found that this kind of extremely time consuming, stylish, beautiful and meaningful religious embroidery work is virtually impossible to find anywhere in the world. We don't know if these antiques were used for ceremonial purposes (possibly on the altar), for decorative purposes or otherwise, but the shape and color of these hand-embroidered christograms in their quatrefoil 'frames' could not be more beautiful. The linnen cloth on the back has some stains (a bit like dried up clay), but otherwise these handcrafted works of beauty could not be in a better condition.
If you appreciate these unique church relics as much as we do then you will love our price for this pair. Especially when taken into account that perfect packing and worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 days are complimentary.
Diameter 11.8 inches or 30 centimeter.
We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for spiritual and meaningful and for the best craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again).

- Hand Embroidered Copper & Silk Thread, Bread of Life / Christ Church RelicLocated in Lisse, NLFor the collectors of stunning and unique, handcrafted religious art. If you truly understand how much time and what skilled effort went into creating this piece and if you recognize the incredible details in this hand-embroidered 'cloth' then you will also recognize its value. Together with many other unique and top quality works of religious art this piece too was part of a collection of immense rarity and beauty. This piece is one of many unique items that were collected over a period of decades. Mind you, each hair and each line of shade that you see on the face of Jesus and his disciple is hand-embroidered. It is most likely that this extremely time consuming and rare quality piece was made by a highly skilled nun, in early 20th century Europe. We think either in Holland, Belgium or France. The cloth on the back was obviously put there to prevent the original back from fraying, thus protecting this church...Category
