Devotional Embroidery With Monogram Ihs Late XVIIIᵉ -.

Devotional broderie with IHS monogram
Late XVIIIᵉ - early XIXᵉ century

Charming religious embroidery centered on the IHS monogram, a Christic symbol very present in Catholic iconography and particularly diffused in domestic devotional works at the end of the XVIIIᵉ century.

Made on fine canvas, this delicate composition is executed with polychrome silk thread, enhanced with silver metallic threads, forming an elegant vegetal crown of flowers and foliage surrounding the cross and sacred monogram. The relief work and the finesse of the stitches testify to a meticulously crafted piece, probably the result of conventual work or devotional work carried out in a religious educational setting.

The set is presented in its original gilded wood frame, perfectly suited to the composition. A few light traces of time on the canvas are a reminder of its age and contribute to the authentic charm of the object.

A piece with a very personal touch.

A piece that is both spiritual and decorative, typical of the embroidered works that once adorned pious interiors or small domestic oratories.
