Older embroidery work (probably from a monastery) around 1900

This extraordinary work from the early 19th century (presumably from a monastery) shows an artfully embroidered cross with roses on a gold-decorated silk background, a typical handicraft from southern Germany. The condition is good considering its age, although the front side shows some damage (see photos). The square object impresses with its symmetrical composition with a centrally placed cross, framed by finely embroidered roses and an elaborately crafted gold border. This rare work combines religious symbolism with the highest craftsmanship and is ideal as a collector's item or for stylish presentation in a historical setting All of our products are older (used) items.
