International studio (21.1903/1904(1904))

other less-known early English embroideries
exhibited among the vestments adjoining the
Italian Court. Part of another English orphrey
in two pieces (Nos. 828 and 82g—1903) belongs
to a slightly later period. Two complete chasu-
bles were also acquired, one of green brocade
(No. 830—1903) with French orphreys of the
hfteenth Century embroidered with female saints,
and the other of green velvet (No. 82g—1903),
with a Cne Flemish orphrey of the early years of
the sixteenth Century, representing a Tree of
Jesse. Two bands of Cologne work (Nos. 823
and 824—1903) ilüustrating the possibility of
combining the weaver's and embroiderer's art,

date from the latter part of the hfteenth Century.
One other piece may be mentioned—an orphrey
from a chasuble (No. 826—1903) bearing the
date 1526 on a cartouche beneath the central
hgure of David, and most probably of French
workmanship. It forms a simple and useful ex-
ample of Continental work at a period when the
art of the embroiderer in this country, after a
decline during the Wars of the Roses, shone
again for a brief period before its practical ex-
tinction, as far as ecclesiastical work is concerned,
at the dissolution of the monasteries.
