Hand woven reproduction of historical fabric with a Gothic motif from the early 15th century in genuine silk and gold thread. Gold pattern woven against a yellow silk background. Perfect for historical costuming as well as modern interiors and contemporary fashions.
This reproduction features an unusual pattern with various motifs offering realistic depictions of individual creatures:
While each motif features a lifelike depiction of an animal as was typical of the High Gothic period, there is an equal share of large, stylized ornamentation – pomegranates and horizontal floral bands. Their presence points to an emerging Late Gothic sensibility, making this a curious and unique example of the balanced blend of the two styles.
The original textile, fragment from a Gothic chasuble, upon which our reproduction is based can be found in collections in Vienna and Cleveland.
This historical brocade reproduction is woven by hand on a Jacquard loom in pure silk with genuine metallic threads coated in real gold. This combination of premium materials makes this brocade sturdy but soft, gentle to the touch, and breathable. The gold thread will not tarnish or lose its shine.
Reproductions of period brocades such as this are perfect for sewing historical costumes and also bring something special to modern interiors or contemporary fashions.
This brocade has loose threads on the back. We recommend lining it with a natural material such as silk or fine linen.
This brocade is unique for its artisan origin. It is woven by hand only about half a meter per day (20 inches) and comes from a loom specifically adapted for Sartor needs. We are skipping all the intermediaries and going all the way down to the village level. This way we can assure that everything we pay goes directly and only to artisan's families.
Because this fabric is hand woven and hand designed, there may be slight irregularities in the weave. These tiny imperfections are not considered defects, but rather a natural feature of hand crafting.
We recommend dry cleaning this fabric at a reliable dry cleaner. In our test of how to wash silk this fabric stood up to gentle hand washing. If you risk hand washing, use lukewarm water and a delicate detergent for woolens; do not wring or squeeze dry; block dry on a flat surface. Dry iron on the back on the lowest setting.
Rarely! We produce reproductions of historical fabrics as limited editions. We want to guarantee a certain authenticity to all owners of historical costumes and decorations. We recommend that you buy these fabrics while they are in stock, as this is the only way to secure them for your project aside from custom ordering.
Limited editions are fabrics of exceptional quality or patterns that have been designed and produced exclusively under the Sartor brand. As a rule, they do not repeat and are therefore only available while supplies last. Don't miss your chance to own a true original.
The minimum fabric order is a length of 20 cm.
Of course! Historical patterns are characterized by high-quality aesthetic workmanship with an emphasis on elegance and harmony, which make them timeless works of art. They are suitable for modern interiors, where they bring an element of originality (try a picture, a pillow). In fashion, they excel in simple, even minimalist, garments, handbags and other accessories.
