A chasuble of the late eighteenth century






Collections of the association have been enriched in recent days of a silk chasuble that can be dated the last quarter of the eighteenth century.
The chasuble is of interest because of its silk fabric that covers the interior fabric, thicker and coarser, designed to provide the stiffness to coat. The upper fabric is a textile furnishings or clothing, woven silk in a very thin (a delicacy which explains the importance of tears on the front) and whose decoration consists of fine branches with flowers and foliage. The slightly greenish tint is fairly uniform so that we can see a discoloration. The stripes are gold son.

The history of the chasuble, which comes from a private collector can be given accurately. This is most likely a production Lyon. Vendors such as Dealer or especially Monnet, Savoy installed in Alsace in the eighteenth century, this type marketed liturgical objects.
