Antique/Vintage Fine Hand-Embroidered Panel - Our Lady of the Gate of Dawn (Matka Boska Ostrobramska / Our Lady of Vilnius)Approximately 16.5 inches **Item Overview:**
Up for sale is a remarkable, collector-quality piece of sacred textile art. This is an exquisitely detailed, entirely hand-worked embroidery panel depicting the highly revered Polish-Lithuanian icon of Our Lady of the Gate of Dawn (*Matka Boska Ostrobramska*). The craftsmanship exhibits traditional ecclesiastical needlework techniques, utilizing fine satin stitching for the face and hands, paired with heavy metallic gold-toned couched bullion cords and threads for the crowns, halo, and crescent moon base. The upper crowns are further accented with tiny hand-applied multi-colored rhinestones and beads.**Condition & Flaw Disclosure
This is a true antique/vintage piece with a beautifully weathered patina and clear signs of age. To ensure complete transparency, please note the following condition points (highlighted in close-up photos):
* **Loose & Frayed Metallic Threads:** There is a distinct section of loose, unraveled fine metallic framing threads running along the upper right side of Mary's inner veil/halo border.* **Surface Staining:** There are visible age-related yellow/amber storage stains on the lower portion of the cream silk fabric just beneath the crescent moon as well as minor faint spotting on the upper right silk ground.
* **Backing & Edges:** The panel is embroidered onto a textured, off-white silk damask/jacquard fabric. The edges are completely raw, unfinished, and fringed where it was salvaged or removed from its original historic liturgical setting (such as a vestment or church banner). The structural integrity of the central satin needlework (face/garments) remains beautifully intact. This piece is being sold as-found, making it an incredible candidate for professional archival framing, textile preservation, or conservation work. Please review all photos carefully as they serve as the ultimate description of condition.**Shipping & Handling:**
Will be shipped flat and packaged with extreme care to preserve the metallic embroidery and stonework. International buyers are welcome!
