The matching pair of salmon-ground chair panels from the same collection was offered in our New York Rooms, 25 March 1998, lot 415.
The embroidery stitch used on this altar panel is counted stitch, which in general terms refers to how the foundation fabric and threads have been counted before embroidery. More often than not, gauze is employed for such an embroidery stitch. Counted stitch embroidery is also known by various other names such as cross-stitch, straight Gobelin and brick-stitch, and each type of counted stitch has its own characteristic effect on the resulting garment.
The brick-stitch is employed on the embroidery of the present lot. On this panel, the embroidery is sewn in neat rows which resemble brickwork. The effect of this technique works remarkably well with the dense and ornate design of this piece of textile.
(US$24,000-28,000)
