Our Velvet Dalmatic collection is inspired by a piece of a
15th-century velvet dalmatic. A dalmatic is a tunic with wide
sleeves worn as part of liturgical vestments and by British
monarchs during coronation services. Velvets like these were
originally woven on a special loom that created two thicknesses at
the same time in order to achieve their marvellously soft texture
and high pile.It was an expensive and painstaking procedure, making
velvet one of the most highly prized luxury fabrics of the
Renaissance.The original velvet panel reproduced here was given to
the Metropolitan Museum of Art as part of the Rogers Fund in 1945.
It was one of a pair that was once owned by Marczell von Nemes, a
Hungarian art financier, collector and dealer. This particular
design is patterned using brocaded gilt metal thread in a
seven-lobed shield outlined with teardrops, an artichoke-like
botanical shape and tiny floral patterns.
Pokračovanie úspešnej trilógie Pán Prsteňov, v ktorom sa zavŕši
príbeh putovania hobita Froda k Puklinám osudu a vojny, ktorá
zavládla v Stredozemi. Knihu preložil Otakar Kořínek.
