An inlay set into fine linen fabric, made of rare Reticella and Punto in Aria needle lace, highly representative of this technique during this period, an Italian or Greek piece for a wedding quilt featuring a couple depicted in three alternating and highly symbolic scenes representing this sacred union: one showing each spouse on either side of the tree of life, the second with the groom holding the reins of the horse carrying his bride, and the third depicting each spouse in a cartouche, facing one another. Linen. Dimensions: 101 x 27.5 cm for one and 97 x 28 cm for the other (Good condition, rare small foxing spots, some old restorations, particularly to the canvas) Expert: Claude Vuille.
