ANTIQUE #SA1078507

Framed Dutch 18th Century Silk And Metal Thread Embroidery

£6,000    $7,471    €7,207
Three 18th century figural vignettes surmounted by an armorial device, all in coloured silks and with metal thread borders. The somewhat heavy C- and S-scrolls in metal thread, seem typical of ornamental devices used in the Netherlands / Low Countries at the time. So is the armorial device, which seems invented, and not patented arms as seen in countries in which such things were better organised at the time. The United Provinces were a republic, and it''s citizens could do what they wanted as to regard armorials and coronets and such.
 
The frame and edge banding are of a later date than the vignettes and armorial device.
