Beautiful antique metallic embroidered vestment panel, likely late 1800s–early 1900s, featuring fine gold-tone metallic threadwork and white silk embroidery on a sheer, lightly blue-tinted ground fabric. Elaborate scrolling borders, floral motifs, and central stylized designs suggest ecclesiastical or ceremonial use.
This piece is sold AS IS due to age-related wear and staining, but still displays wonderfully detailed hand embroidery and is ideal for restoration, study, or salvage of metallic trims.
