French Brocaded Silk Panel (Christian) - 18th Century - Louis XVIII ~ 1790 AD

By lucreative, 3 July, 2013
Description

This is a  French brocaded silk panel sewed with gold and silver threads, with a fringe made of metal threads on the bottom.

The silk brocade could have been used in a Christian church due to the image of a triangle with rays of light that is sewn with silver threads on top of the brocade panel. 

In Western society, the triangle most often has highly Christian meanings when used in a religious context. Because the Christian God is a trinity - Father, Son and Holy Ghost united in a single godhead – he is commonly represented by a triangle. However, there is no Eye, so not the eye of providence.

Textiles really require a physical appraisal to determine value and authenticity, nobody can appraise them from an image.
