2. Neeedlework collage
Textile and needlework collage of St Cecilia, for sale on June 30 at Dreweatts, thought to date from c.1600 – estimate £2000-3000.
This textile and needlework collage of St Cecilia, for sale on June 30 at Dreweatts in Newbury, is thought to date from c.1600.
The patron saint of music and musicians is shown seated alongside an attendant angel playing a pipe organ and ‘donor’ figures to an archway to the left. It is created using textiles, hand dotted gilded paper, penwork and small glass beads simulating jewelled details and fruits.
The musical score played by the angel is inscribed with the Cantantibus Organic, a Latin text that forms the antiphon of the Vespers on Cecilia’s feast day (November 22).
Although the origin of this work is unknown, it would seem to be the work of a gifted child or young person emulating work they may have seen in their household.
Estimate £2000-3000.
