| 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. |
