✨ NEW ARRIVAL | A true museum-quality masterpiece of late 18th-century devotional art. Now available on our webshop.
We are incredibly proud to present this exceptionally rare Devotional Silk Embroidery (ca. 1770–1830), depicting The Transverberation of Saint Teresa of Ávila.
Hailing from Southern Europe (Italy/Spain), this exquisite piece of sacred textile art showcases phenomenal craftsmanship:
🔹 Every detail of the mystical scene is meticulously hand-embroidered with fine silk threads on a silk ground.
🔹 The delicate faces and hands are beautifully hand-painted on paper/silk inserts to capture the raw emotion of spiritual ecstasy.
🔹 Framed in its 100% original pine Biedermeier frame with ancient paper backing sealing its historical integrity.
🎨 A Fascinating Time Capsule:
While the front side has beautifully faded over the centuries into a serene, atmospheric patina, the reverse side (perfectly preserved under its original backing) still retains the vibrant, vivid colors—deep reds, rich yellows, and vibrant greens—exactly as the maker intended over 200 years ago.
Untouched, uncleaned, and completely intact. A breathtaking statement piece for high-end curated interiors and serious collectors alike.
🌍 We ship worldwide, fully insured and packed with museum-grade care.
