An 18th century
Italian crest stitch entirely with silk threads of sky blue and beige.
Featuring a Ducal
crown with silk jewels in red and yellow above a sky blue shield with
sexfoil flowers that represents hope
and joy, a fess across the middle representing a military belt and a wheel
representing fortune. Typically a
crest represents some kind of achievement by the bearer rather then representing
a single family. The crest
has been hand stitched onto sky blue silk velvet and edged with a French
19th century gold metallic trim
embossed with clusters of grapes and leaves. Finished with a French 19th
century 3” gold metallic fringe. Condition:
minor wear to the shield ground that is typical of something over 200
years old.
